3. Use following commands for install bundler, downloading redmine sources and using bundle for redmine installation

   gem install bundler
   wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/76771/redmine-2.2.3.tar.gz
   tar xzf redmine-2.2.3.tar.gz
   cd redmine-2.2.3
   yum -y install ruby-devel gcc
   yum -y install ruby-RMagick
   yum -y install ImageMagick-devel
   gem install json -v '1.7.7'
   bundle install
   bundle install --without postgresql sqlite
   bundle show

4. Install mysql-server and secure mysql installation using 'yum -y install mysql-server', 'service mysqld start' and '/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation'
5. Create database, username and password for redmine using 'mysql -u root -p' followed by:

   create database redmine character set utf8;
   create user 'redmine'@'localhost' identified by 'my_password';
   grant all privileges on redmine.* to 'redmine'@'localhost';
   flush privileges
   \q

6. Configure database, username and password in redmine configuration file using 'cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml' and then by editing 'config/database.yml' to correct database name, username and password for production
7. Initialize redmine for running first time using following commands:

   rake generate_secret_token
   RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate
   RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine:load_default_data
   mkdir public/plugin_assets
   useradd redmine
   sudo chown -R redmine:redmine files log tmp public/plugin_assets
   sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp public/plugin_assets
   cd ..
   mv redmine-2.2.3 /home/redmine
   chown -R redmine:redmine /home/redmine

8. Now login as redmine user to start the redmine server

   su - redmine
   cd redmine-2.2.3
   ruby script/rails server webrick -e production -d
