Installing git on centos 6

I’m installing git on centos 6.

Install dependencies:

yum -y install zlib-devel openssl-devel cpio expat-devel

gettext-devel gcc perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker

Install MakeMaker:

cd /usr/local/src
wget http://files.directadmin.com/services/9.0/ExtUtils-

MakeMaker-6.31.tar.gz
tar xvzf ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.31.tar.gz
cd ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.31
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

Download and compile the latest git source:

cd /usr/local/src
wget http://git-core.googlecode.com/files/git-1.7.9.2.

tar.gz
tar xvzf git-1.7.9.tar.gz
cd git-1.7.9.2
./configure
make
make install

Test installation by initializing a new git repository:

cd ~/
mkdir test.git
cd test.git
git init

You should see “Initialized empty Git repository in /root/git-test/.git/” if the installation process was successful.
