2. 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.

3. 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.
