This page contains instructions for the initial installation of Crucible.

On this page:

Installing the Crucible Binary Files

Follow these steps to install Crucible:

  1. Download the Crucible zip file and extract it. This document assumes you have extracted your Crucible zip file into a directory called /FISHEYE_HOME/.
  2. Ensure you have installed an appropriate Java runtime - see System Requirements. Ensure that java is in the PATH, or that the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set.

Setting up a Repository for use with Stand-alone Crucible

When accessing repositories from stand-alone Crucible, the SCM client interface will access the repositories on demand. This requires that you configure the plugin.

For complete instructions, see Configuring Repositories.

Setting up a Repository for use with FishEye and Crucible

Next: Configuration

To go on with configuration, see the page configuring Crucible.

    It might be useful to update this page to list Mercurial as supported

    It might be useful to explain how to install BOTH Crucible and FishEye on a single computer considering that the ZIP files that contain them look exactly alike down to the number of files in each ZIP.  After that, I'd write some installation instructions that are less arcane and a bit easier to follow.  The instructions on this page are not particularly useful at all.

    How come you have removed the "view Wiki Markup" link on your documentation pages. It was very handy for importing certain docs into our own wiki?

      Hi Jeremy,

      This instance of Confluence has been upgraded to Confluence 4, where wiki markup is no longer used for editing. Please read about this in the release notes.

        Understood but honestly you guys should not discount all your customers that will not be going to 4 in the near future. Removing that makes creating my internal documents based on your documents a  nightmare. Any customer looking up documentation on v3.5 obviously is not going to be on 4.0. If it were me I would not alienate 90% of my customers. I would make version 4 documentation run on 4.0 backend but anything below that I would keep running on the more compatible 3.5 and below. Just sayin

          Hi Jeremy,
          Part of Atlassian's philosophy when developing new features and fixing bugs is that we constantly "eat our own dog food" – use the products that we are developing! In that, we are always pushing the latest versions of our software to the instances that we are using. This also serves to provide the public with a view into the developments that are being made across our product suite. Obviously we are always going to be "ahead of the pack" when it comes versions of our software.

          As for your use case of copying documentation into your own Confluence instance, I am sorry that the editor format change now breaks your workflow, but we believe that the new editor in Confluence 4 provides many improvements over the 3.x series.

    I want to purchase Crucible but was told that Fisheye is required. Is this true? The instructions indicate you can install and use Crucible in standalone mode without Fisheye.

      FishEye is not required by Crucible, but FishEye features will not be available (browsing source, file history, comprehensive search etc).

    "Download the Crucible zip file and extract it" - the link is broken.
