how to install Gitlab on Amazon Linux 2023 (x86) ?

Question

Hi,

I automate gitlab installation on the ubuntu image but i need to swicth to  Amazon Linux 2023 (x86).

I looked on the net, it is not clear if Gitlab may be installed on Amazon Linux 2023 (x86). I looked on re:post site : there is a lot's of questions about runners but not about Gitlab installation.

The first point is packages repositories, on ubuntu the reposotiries configuration has to be updated with the command "curl https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ee/script.deb.sh |  bash"

Is there an similar command for Amazon Linux 2023 (x86) ?
