+======================================
+Installing Tileserver-GL on CentOS 7
+======================================
+
+Mapbox-GL-native requires a more recent version of gcc/g++ libraries than is packaged with CentOS7 updates, so installation needs to be done a little differently. This assumes you're working on a fresh CentOS instance.
+
+---------
+
+First Add EPEL repo for extra packages::
+
+  #!/usr/bin/env bash
+  sudo yum -y install epel-release
+
+Update and upgrade your system::
+
+   sudo yum -q -y update
+   sudo yum -q -y upgrade
+
+
+Now install Node v4.X. This can be done through nvm, but if you are starting on a fresh instance, this will do the trick to setup the NodeJsv4.X repo::
+
+   curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | sudo bash -
+
+Install necessary dependencies. 
+NOTE: We probably dont need all of these. There are a few left over from the initial Centos testing.::
+
+  sudo yum -y -q install \
+    autoconf \
+    automake \
+    cairo \
+    cairo-devel \
+    cairomm-devel \
+    cmake3 \
+    curl \
+    gcc \
+    gcc-c++ \
+    giflib-devel \
+    git \
+    git-core \
+    libcurl \
+    libjpeg-turbo-devel \
+    mesa-dri-drivers \
+    nodejs-4.2.5 \
+    nodejs-devel-4.2.5 \
+    pango \
+    pango-devel \
+    pangomm \
+    pangomm-devel \
+    protobuf \
+    protobuf-compiler \
+    protobuf-devel \
+    xorg-x11-server-Xvfb
+
+Add the fedora repo to get updated versions of gcc & g++
+
+**IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't do a system update after enableing this repo. It will get UGLY really fast.**::
+
+  echo "[warning:fedora]" | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/FedoraRepo.repo
+  echo "name=fedora" | sudo tee -a /etc/yum.repos.d/FedoraRepo.repo
+  echo "mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-23&arch=\$basearch" | sudo tee -a /etc/yum.repos.d/FedoraRepo.repo
+  echo "enabled=1" | sudo tee -a /etc/yum.repos.d/FedoraRepo.repo
+  echo "gpgcheck=1" | sudo tee -a /etc/yum.repos.d/FedoraRepo.repo
+  echo "gpgkey=https://getfedora.org/static/34EC9CBA.txt" | sudo tee -a /etc/yum.repos.d/FedoraRepo.repo
+
+
+Get new versions of gcc & g++::
+
+  sudo yum -y update gcc g++
+
+Potentially unnecessary step::
+
+  sudo alternatives --install /usr/bin/cmake qmake /usr/bin/cmake3 500
+
+This stops tileserver-gl complaining about a missing library::
+
+  sudo ln -s /lib64/libcurl.so.4.3.0 /lib64/libcurl-gnutls.so.4.3.0
+  sudo ln -s /lib64/libcurl.so.4.3.0 /lib64/libcurl-gnutls.so.4
+
+
+Change permissions blocking tileserver from accessing dependencies...
+
+*This is seriously UGLY and a security problem but it gets around errors with "npm -g"*::
+
+  sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/lib/node_modules/
+  sudo chmod o+w /usr/bin
+
+
+Install tileserver from npm::
+
+  npm install -g tileserver-gl
+
+
+Grab the tileserver demo data::
+
+  curl -o zurich_switzerland.mbtiles https://openmaptiles.os.zhdk.cloud.switch.ch/v3.3/extracts/zurich_switzerland.mbtiles
+
+
+Use xvfb to run the tile server manually::
+
+  xvfb-run -s "-screen 0 1024x768x24 +extension GLX" /usr/bin/tileserver-gl --verbose
+
