For indexing Git repository data, GitLab uses an [indexer written in Go](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-elasticsearch-indexer).
The way you install the Go indexer depends on your version of GitLab:
- For GitLab Omnibus 11.8 and above, see [GitLab Omnibus](#gitlab-omnibus).
- For older versions of GitLab, install the indexer [From Source](#from-source).
### GitLab Omnibus
The Go indexer was included in Omnibus GitLab 11.8 as an optional replacement to a
Ruby-based indexer. [Since GitLab v12.3](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/6481),
all indexing is done by the Go indexer, and the Ruby indexer is removed.
If you would like to use the Elasticsearch Go indexer with a source installation or an older version of GitLab, please follow the instructions below.
### Installation
### From source
First, we need to install some dependencies, then we'll build and install
the indexer itself.
#### Dependencies
This project relies on [ICU](http://site.icu-project.org/) for text encoding,
therefore we need to ensure the development packages for your platform are
installed before running `make`.
