Jira applications installation requirements
Jira applications installation requirements
Jira is a 'web application', meaning it runs centrally on a server, and users interact with it through web browsers from any computer on the same network. As such, Jira must be able to communicate and authenticate with itself. If you're upgrading to Jira 9.17 be sure to review the latest release and upgrade notes here.
Please read the Supported platforms page for Jira applications, which lists the required server and client software supported by Jira applications for:
- Browsers (client-side)
- Java platforms (JDK/JRE) (server-side)
- Operating systems (server-side)
- Application servers (server-side)
- Databases (server-side)
Please also read the information below regarding server and client software and hardware requirements for Jira.
