In this guide we’ll run you through installing a Jira application in a production environment, with an external database, using the Linux installer.
This is the most straightforward way to get your production site up and running on a Linux server.
Other ways to install Jira:
Evaluation — get your free trial up and running in no time.
TAR.GZ – install Jira manually from an archive file.
Windows – install Jira on a Windows server.

Before you begin
Before you install Jira, there are a few questions you need to answer.
Are you using a supported operating system?
Check the Supported Platforms page for the version of Jira you are installing. This will give you info on supported operating systems, databases and browsers.
Good to know:
We don’t support installing Jira on OSX or mac OS for production sites.
The Jira installer includes Java (JRE) and Tomcat, so you don’t need to install these separately.
Do you want to run Jira as a service?
Running Jira as a service means that Jira will automatically start up when Linux is started.
If you choose to run Jira as a service:
You must use sudo to run the installer to be able to install Jira as a service.
The installer will create a dedicated user account, jira , that will run the service.
If you choose not to run Jira as a service:
You will start and stop Jira by running the start-jira.sh file in your Jira installation directory.
Jira will be run as the user account that was used to install Jira, or you can choose to run as a dedicated user.
Jira will need to be restarted manually if your server is restarted.
Is your database set up and ready to use?
Good to know:
Set up your database before you begin. Step-by-step guides for all supported databases are available in Connecting Jira applications to a database.
Use UTF-8 character encoding.
If you’re using Oracle or MySQL you’ll need to download the driver for your database.
The embedded H2 database can be used for evaluating Jira, but you’ll need to migrate to another database before running in production. You may find it easier to use external database from the start.
Do you have a Jira license?
Good to know:
If you have not yet purchased a Jira application license you’ll be able to create an evaluation license during setup.
If you already have a license key you’ll be prompted to log in to my.atlassian.com to retrieve it, or you can enter the key manually during setup.
If you’re migrating from Jira Cloud, you’ll need a new licenseJira
For Linux installations, we’ve noticed some problems when displaying certain system text in the application (CAPTCHA and gadgets). Instead of showing regular alphanumeric letters, the text will appear to be garbled and look like symbols. To avoid this problem, you should install several fonts that are required by Jira. For more info, see Jira UI shows unreadable text .
Install a Jira application
1. Download Jira
Download the installer for your operating system:
2. Run the installer
Make the installer executable.
Change to the directory where you downloaded Jira then execute this command:
Where -X.X.X is is the Jira version you downloaded.
Run the installer, we recommend using sudo to run the installer as this will create a dedicated account to run Jira and allow you to run Jira as a service.
To use sudo to run the installer execute this command:
Where -X.X.X is is the Jira version you downloaded.
You can also choose to run the installer as with root user privileges.
Set up your Jira application
3. Choose set up method
4. Connect to your database
If you’ve not already done so, it’s time to create your database. See the ‘Before you begin’ section of this page for details.
Choose My own database.
Choose your database type then enter the details for your database.
JIRA connects to your database using a standard JDBC database connection. Connection pooling is handled within JIRA, you can change this using JIRA configuration tool later.
If you’re using Oracle or MySQL there’s an extra step:
Download and extract the appropriate database JDBC drivers. See Supported platforms to get the right version.
Drop the JAR file into your /lib folder before continuing with the setup wizard.
In the setup wizard:
Driver Class Name – the Java class name for your database driver. If you’re not sure, check the documentation for your database.
Database URL – the JDBC URL for your database. If you’re not sure, check the documentation for your database.
Username and Password – A valid username and password that JIRA can use to access your database.
5. Set application properties
Give your Jira site a name.
Choose whether your site should be private or anyone can sign up. You can change this later.
Enter your base URL — this is the address people will use to access your Jira site.
5. Enter your license
6. Create your administrator account
Enter details for the administrator account. You can add more administrators after set up is complete.
7. Set up email notifications
Enter details of your mail server. This will allow Jira to send notifications when issues change.
8. Start using Jira
Here’s a few things that will help you get your team up and running:
Add and invite users to get your team on board, or configure user directories for slightly bigger teams.
Create your first project to have something to work on.
Configure SSL or HTTPS to keep Jira and your team more secure.
