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.
Please read the Supported Platforms page for JIRA applications, which lists the required server and client software supported by JIRA applications
- 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 requirements for JIRA.
Client-side requirements
Browser | Enable your browser to execute JavaScript from your JIRA applications to access their full functionality. You can consult the supported versions here. |

Server-side requirements for evaluation purposes
Java | If you intend to use the Windows Installer or Linux Installer to install JIRA, there is no need to install and configure a separate JDK/JRE since these executable files will install and configure their own JRE to run JIRA, otherwise you will have to install a supported version of the ORACLE Java runtime. Consult the supported versions here. |
---|---|
Memory | 500MB – 1GB of Java heap size is enough for most evaluation purposes. |
Database | JIRA applications come pre-configured with the H2 database, which is suitable for evaluation purposes only, it shouldn't be used in production environments. |
Security | Symantec must be uninstalled from the server that you want to install JIRA applications on, as it is known to dramatically reduce application performance. For more information, see this knowledge base article: Crashes and Performance Issues Troubleshooting. |
Server-side requirements for production
Java | If you intend to use the Windows Installer or Linux Installer to install JIRA, there is no need to install and configure a separate JDK/JRE since these executable files will install and configure their own JRE to run JIRA, otherwise you will have to install a supported version of the ORACLE Java runtime. Consult the supported versions here. |

Hardware |
|
Database | Using the embedded H2 database is not supported in production. You must install and connect your JIRA instance to an enterprise database supported by Atlassian. |
Security | Symantec must be uninstalled from the server that you want to install JIRA applications on, as it is known to dramatically reduce application performance. For more information, see this knowledge base article: Crashes and Performance Issues Troubleshooting. |
If you are considering running JIRA applications on VMware, please read Virtualizing JIRA.
