Supported platforms

• 1.8

• JIRA is a pure Java-based application and should run on any supported operating system, provided that the JDK / JRE requirements are satisfied.
• Atlassian only officially supports JIRA running on x86 hardware and 64-bit derivatives of x86 hardware. If you are installing JIRA from an archive, you should create a dedicated user account on the operating system to run JIRA, since JIRA runs as the user it is invoked under, and therefore can potentially be abused.
• Although the JIRA Linux Installer is designed to install successfully on all 'flavors' of Linux, we only test the JIRA Linux Installer on CentOS Linux.If you encounter problems with the JIRA Linux Installer on your particular flavor of Linux, we recommend installing JIRA on Linux from an archive file.
• NFS mounts are supported only for JIRA Data Center's shared home directory. They won't work for Server, or DC's local home directory due to Lucene requirements. Read the IndexWriter docs for more information. 

• If you’re creating your own deployment in AWS, you can use any configuration (e.g. OS or database) that’s supported both by JIRA and AWS.
• If you’re using our reference template, you will deploy a pre-configured environment, with some level of customizations available. For more info on our template, see JIRA Data Center on AWS.

• Please read our Virtualizing JIRA (JIRA on VMware) guide for information on the required configuration of VMWare.

JIRA is tested and bundled with the 9.1 JDBC driver. You can also use the latest JDBC driver for your PostgreSQL version listed here, though we can't guarantee that it will work with your version of JIRA. To use a different JDBC driver:

1. Stop your JIRA instance.
2. Remove the bundled driver from <JIRA_INST>/lib/.
3. Download the new driver and place it in <JIRA_INST>/lib/.
4. Restart your JIRA instance.
