Dear,

I work with the root user when uploading Jira, but not with the user JIRA, loses the environment variables .. what could be happening? please your help!

Hi @Padmasree P, 

you can follow this guide to install Jira on Linux using the archive file.

I don't think there's anything specific to RH, you just need to have a JRE installed and you should be good to go !

Let me know if you have any issues,

 Hi Alex, I just looked in the guide, but it does not have any content to compile and install the application.

Please help on this

Hello, 

you don't need to compile the application. The tar.gz archive contains the binaries, you'll simply need to extract the archive and modify a few configuration files to begin the installation.

What steps have you taken so far to begin the install ?

Hi Alexis,

I have extracted the archive and edited the configurations as per the guide which is shared. now how do I install the application

Hi, 

you can simply run this file:  <installation-directory>\bin\start-jira.sh

If you have any issues, remember to look at the logs in <JIRA_HOME>/logs/atlassian-jira.log for more information.
