It offers features such as issue tracking, project planning, and collaboration, making it a powerful tool for managing projects and workflows. Jira is widely used by software development teams, but it can also be adapted for various other types of projects.
Here is a step-by-step guide to installing Jira on CentOS 8:
Before starting, make sure your server meets the following requirements:
First, log in to your CentOS 8 server and update the system packages:
sudo dnf update -y
Jira requires Java to run, so install JDK 11 or higher using the following command:
sudo dnf install java-11-openjdk-devel -y
Confirm the installation by checking the Java version:
java -version
Next, set the Java environment variables by editing the /etc/environment
file:
sudo vi /etc/environment
Add the following lines to the file:
JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-11.0.12.0.7-0.el8_4.x86_64"
JRE_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-11.0.12.0.7-0.el8_4.x86_64/jre"
Replace the paths with the correct JDK version installed on your system.
Save and close the file.
Create a dedicated system user for running Jira by executing the following command:
sudo useradd --system --create-home jira
Download the latest version of Jira from the official website:
wget https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/downloads/binary/atlassian-jira-software-8.18.0.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded archive:
tar xf atlassian-jira-software-8.18.0.tar.gz
Move the extracted Jira directory to the appropriate location:
sudo mv atlassian-jira-software-8.18.0 /opt/jira
Choose a database server for Jira, such as MySQL or PostgreSQL. Install and configure the database server accordingly.
Jira requires a few additional dependencies. Install them using the following commands:
sudo dnf install libfreetype fontconfig -y
sudo dnf install libexpat -y
Start Jira using the following command:
sudo /opt/jira/bin/start-jira.sh
Wait for the initialization process to complete.
Once Jira is started, you can access the web interface by visiting the following URL in your web browser:
