I have a Linux Centos 7.4 (64bit) workstation, which I had installed the followings:
1. PostgreSQL 9.6.8 which was installed using "PostgreSQL-9.6.8-2-linux-x64.run"
2. Jira 7.8.0 which was installed using "atlassian-jira-software-7.8.0-x64.bin"
I tried to install Bitbucket 5.8.2 using "atlassian-jira-software-5.8.2-x64.bin"
Having this error message:
Unsupport Git version found [1.8.3.1], please upgrade Git to a support version before
installing Bitbucket.
I ran "git --version" shows git version 1.8.3.1
if I ran rpm -qa | grep git, it shows many lines of entries.
This Linux machine is configured to be in a closed area; it means no connection to outside world.
My questions are:
1. what is the compatible version of git I need to download and integrate with Bitbucket 5.8.2?
2. Does new git from question 1 impact the other Atlassian software like Jira, Confluence and Crucible that I need to aware of, what I mean is Does new git works with Jira 7.8.0; Confluence 6.7.1 and Crucible 4.5.3?
3. Since my Linux workstation had git version 1.8.3.1, what is the proper way to upgrade git 1.8.3.1 to the newer version?
Please advise.

Hi David,
Bitbucket 5.8.2 does require a minimum of Git version 2.2+. The nice thing is, your git version will not affect Jira or Confluence but it will affect Crucible. In Crucible's case, you can use as old as Git 1.7.1.1, however, we recommend something more recent.
In regards to upgrading, if your workstation does not have internet access, you will need to either locate the git source and compile it yourself or locate a package (like an rpm) that you can move onto the server and then install via yum.
Best Regards,
Michael
