Could not create jira.home directory

Sapan_Parikh

Hello I have done a brand new standard installation of JIRA on CentOS. But I always seem to endup with the following error

I am assuming installing the bin file installs a correct JDK as well

*************************************************************************************************************************$
Could not create jira.home directory '/var/atlassian/application-data/jira'. Please see https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/d$
*************************************************************************************************************************$

Your disk is out of space, or you are running the installer as an account which does not have the rights to create and/or use the directory specified in the error message.
