Supported Platforms

• Java 7
• Java 8

• Java 8 offers significant advantages over Java 7. If you have a medium- to large-sized instance, we recommend using Java 8. Please see Java 8 improves JIRA application performance dramatically for further info.
• There has been a change in how Java 8 does host resolution, and JIRA may return 'localhost' instead of 'your domain' in some instances. This would be most noticeable in outgoing emails from JIRA. We are working on a solution, and you can view a fix and our progress here JRASERVER-39070 - JIRA from address in outbound email changed to 'localhost' if you use Java 8 Closed
• There is a known issue with Java 1.8.0_25 and 1.8.0_31. We don't recommend running JIRA on these versions.
  

• JIRA is a pure Java-based application and should run on any supported operating system, provided that the JDK / JRE requirements are satisfied.
• Please see Configure Anti-virus software for use with Jira Server / Jira Data Center for further info.

• 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 'flavours' of Linux, we only test the JIRA Linux Installer on CentOS Linux. If you encounter problems with the JIRA Linux Installer on your particular flavour of Linux, we recommend installing JIRA on Linux from an archive file.
• NFS mounts are not supported due to Lucene requirements. Please see the IndexWriter docs for further info.
