## Software requirements
### Ruby versions
From GitLab 13.6:
- Ruby 2.7 and later is required.
From GitLab 12.2:
- Ruby 2.6 and later is required.
You must use the standard MRI implementation of Ruby.
We love [JRuby](https://www.jruby.org/) and [Rubinius](https://github.com/rubinius/rubinius#the-rubinius-language-platform), but GitLab
needs several Gems that have native extensions.
### Go versions
The minimum required Go version is 1.13.
### Git versions
From GitLab 13.11:
- Git 2.31.x and later is required. We recommend you use the
[Git version provided by Gitaly](installation.md#git).
From GitLab 13.6:
- Git 2.29.x and later is required.
From GitLab 13.1:
- Git 2.24.x and later is required.
- Git 2.28.x and later [is recommended](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly/-/issues/2959).
### Node.js versions
Beginning in GitLab 12.9, we only support Node.js 10.13.0 or higher, and we have dropped
support for Node.js 8. (Node.js 6 support was dropped in GitLab 11.8)
We recommend Node 14.x, as it's faster.
GitLab uses [webpack](https://webpack.js.org/) to compile frontend assets, which requires a minimum
version of Node.js 10.13.0.
You can check which version you're running with `node -v`. If you're running
a version older than `v10.13.0`, you need to update it to a newer version. You
can find instructions to install from community maintained packages or compile
from source at the [Node.js website](https://nodejs.org/en/download/).
### Redis versions
GitLab 13.0 and later requires Redis version 4.0 or higher.
