JIRA Linux Installation Error: jre/bin/java: not found

Nathan Green

I am trying to install JIRA and when I run the installer (./atlassian-jira-6.0.4-x32.bin) I get an error: jre/bin/java: not found. Is there some way to turn on logging when I run the installer? I can background it shortly before it dies, and manually extract java.tar.gz, but I get basically the same error from the shell when I try, e.g., bin/java -version: "bash: ./bin/java: No such file or directory" I'm running Xubuntu 12.4 and kernel 3.2. I don't have an existing JVM installed.

Accepted answers

It seems I forgot to run

apt-get install ia32-libs

Obviously the installer is giving the wrong error message when it fails. With 32-bit support fully enabled, I am able to install the 32-bit version.

Install a JDK/JRE and retry the installation

Nathan Green

The installer is bundled with a JRE, so obviously that wouldn't help. But I tried it anyway just after I posted my question and of course it didn't work. I forgot to mention that I verified the MD5 sum. Is this installer dependent upon a particular unix shell? I think I only have Bash installed right now.

~$ java -version

This is driving me mad and I have had incredibly little support from Atlassian.

As Debian no longer include an Oracle version of the JDK in the repo's you have to grab a tarball from Oracle. Good luck with that, java-package and make-jpkg have not got me far in making a debian package to install with any success. I really have persevered but I expected WAY more from Atlassian to be honest.

You need to install the JIRA software prerequisites.

Run as root:

apt-get install lsb-core
apt-get install default-jdk
apt-get install default-jre

Also make sure you have Oracle's Java Installed:

The Oracle JDK is the official JDK; however, it is no longer provided by Oracle as a default installation for Ubuntu.

You can still install it using apt-get. To install any version, first execute the following commands:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

If you're on Ubuntu, for example, then you need to make sure you have Oracle's Java installed with the above commands. It took me a couple hours then I figured this out. Hopefully you figure it out!

As the answer says, the problem was a 32-bit vs 64-bit mismatch. It was not obvious that this was the case from the error message, which is why it took a little while to figure out.

Best solution on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Travis Brackett

on Ubuntu 14.04, I was able to get it to work by simply running:

sudo apt-get install default-jre

If you're running 64 bit Ubuntu and would like to install the 32 bit JIRA, this works:

sudo bash
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get install default-jre:i386

worked in debian jessie, whatever the reason is, I did the installation in 32bit
