This guide describes how to install a new JIRA Standalone installation on Linux using the automated 'Linux Installer'. If you are upgrading JIRA, please refer to the Upgrading JIRA guide.

(info) You can also install JIRA Standalone from a 'zip' archive — see Installing JIRA Standalone from an Archive File on Windows, Linux or Solaris for details.

It is possible that any anti-virus or other Internet security tools installed on your Linux operating system may interfere with the JIRA installation process and prevent the process from completing successfully. If you experience or anticipate experiencing such an issue with your anti-virus/Internet security tool, disable this tool first before proceeding with the JIRA installation.

There are two ways to install JIRA Standalone using the Linux Installer:

JIRA will be ready to access (from a browser window) when the following message appears in the application's log file:

  1. Download the JIRA Standalone 'Linux Installer' (.bin) file from the JIRA Download Center to a suitable location.
  2. Open a Linux console.
  3. Copy (cp) the file .install4j/response.varfile located in your previous JIRA installation directory, to the same location as the downloaded 'Linux Installer' file.
    (info) You can uninstall your previous JIRA installation after this step. Save your response.varfile if you need to install JIRA on multiple machines.
  4. Change directory (cd) to the location of the 'Linux Installer' file and execute the following command:

    No Format
    atlassian-jira-X.Y.bin -q -varfile response.varfile
    

    Where:

    • X.Y — refers to the version of JIRA you are about to install.
    • -q — instructs the installer to operate in unattended mode (i.e. 'quietly').
    • -varfile response.varfile — specifies the configuration file containing the configuration options used by the installer. The location and name of the configuration file should be specified after the -varfileoption.

      (/) To find out what other options can be specified to the installer, specify the {{-h}} option --- i.e. {{atlassian-jira-X.Y.bin -h}}
      
  5. JIRA will start automatically when the silent installation finishes. Continue from step 2 Starting JIRA (above).
