I am running a Linux mint (18.2) box. I have installed a LAMP stack that I use for some local development. I wanted to install GitLab to help manage my development cycle.
I was trying to install the omnibus package of GitLab following the instructions on the official site and got stuck at the step:
sudo EXTERNAL_URL="http://gitlab.example.com" apt-get install gitlab-ee
Here I got an error saying " gitlab-ee package not found". So did an apt-cache search and and only found a gitlab package so installed that. It gave an error:

I don't have nginx installed and would rather continue using apache along with my other sites instead of nginx. I found this site Use Apache instead of built-in Nginx in GitLab CE but when I try gitlab-ctl stop I get a gitlab-ctl: command not found response.
Trying to re-install gives the following:
sudo EXTERNAL_URL="http://gitlab.natral.net" apt-get install gitlab
[sudo] password for natral:
