    installation failed with plugin-git
    When I follow the instructions from here [1] the installation failed because of package tuleap-plugin-git.noarch 0:4.897-11.3_1.el7. It also doesn't matter if I use stable or dev -branch from the repo.
    I guess the important output from the installation is:
    162/169
    useradd: cannot create directory /var/lib/gitolite
    chmod: cannot access ‘/var/lib/gitolite’: No such file or directory
    error: %pre(tuleap-plugin-git-4.897-11.3_1.el7.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
    Error in PREIN scriptlet in rpm package tuleap-plugin-git-4.897-11.3_1.el7.noarch

    error: tuleap-plugin-git-4.897-11.3_1.el7.noarch: install failed

    I also attached the mostly complete output from the installation

    Hello from the future! I see that this issue is still open, and I ran into it on a new installation today.

    The problem was that I forgot to disable SELinux as mentioned in the Installation documentation.

    SELinux is enabled by default on CentOS 7. To check your current SELinux status, run sestatus. If it shows as enabled, you have to disable it, or at least set it to permissive prior to installing Tuleap. This can be done by setting SELINUX=permissive instead of SELINUX=enabled in /etc/sysconfig/selinux.

    Hi there, I found that if I disable SELinux, installation will be worked.

    Hi, I met this error also when I install on CentOS, here is the content of /etc/centos-release:

    ```
    CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)
    ```

    Gitolite is in reality gitolite3.
    As a workaround, I created a symlink from /var/lib/gitolite3 to /var/lib/gitolite.
    This should be fixed in the package, however.

    This workaround seems not really successful, though, leads later to errors:

    # LC_ALL=C /usr/share/tuleap/tools/setup.el7.sh --configure --server-name=my_server --mysql-server=localhost
    Apache is already configured
