  (Asked by: username_0 on 2018-07-26)
  
  I have a GitLab repository.
  I want to add a runner to it.
  I was able to install it, with the instruction [here](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/linux-manually.html) without Docker (step 3).
  
  Now I have to register it according to the instructions [here](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/register/). In the beggining of that file it is wrriten that I have to obtain a token, but I don’t understand where do I obtain the token from.
  
  In [this link](https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/runners/) it is wrriten that
  I can get the token from `CI/CD -> settings`
  but `CI/CD` does not have a `settings` option.
  
  Also, in the registration instruction in step 2, it is written:
  `Please enter the gitlab-ci coordinator URL` but there is no documentation anywhere about what is this URL

  For a specific GitLab runner tied to a project, the token can be found in Step 3; in `Project -> Settings -> CI/CD -> Runners` in the `Setup a specific Runner manually` section.
  
  You will also be able to find the URL which you need to use to register the runner in Step 2.
