RPM Manual Install Issues

I’m having issues installing GitLab-EE on our server. Doing this via manual RPM installation method (since opening external repo’s is a no-go in this environment), failed install the fist time (not enough space on /opt) and then increased the space to 11GB and tried to reinstall (yum remove, then rpm -i) and am getting the following error:

[root@hostname gitlab]# EXTERNAL_URL=“http://hostname.local.domain” rpm -i /home/user/gitlab-ee-11.8.3-ee.0.el7.x86_64.rpm
