We are trying to install jira 7.7.0 version on Centos machine and getting the below error.

[root@localhost application]# ./atlassian-jira-software-7.7.0-x64.bin
Unpacking JRE ...

Please see the steps in Installing Jira application on Linux.  Specifically in #2 there is a step where you have to make the file executable:

Change to the directory where you downloaded JIRA then execute this command:

$ chmod a+x atlassian-jira-software-X.X.X-x64.bin

Where jira-software.X.X.X is is the JIRA version you downloaded.

And then in step #3, use sudo to run the file:

To use sudo to run the installer execute this command:

$ sudo ./atlassian-jira-software-X.X.X-x64.bin

Where jira-software.X.X.X is is the JIRA version you downloaded.

I'd also recommend walking through the Supported platforms doc for Jira 7.7.x.  It explains that the Java runtime environment has to be the Oracle JRE or JDK, I am afraid that Jira does not support OpenJDK at this time.   To make sure that OpenJDK is not part of the problem here, I suggest following the steps in Installing Java to install an Oracle JRE/JDK and then set the $JAVA_HOME variable on the system to this path.  This way, when Jira starts up, it will use that supported version of Java.

Hi,

Unfortunately I'm not sure if it's an architecture issue, but I've read lots of issues about POWER8 / ppc64le compatibility...

Sorry for not being helpful at all...

Regards,
Marcos

Sorry, i forget to update.

We are using IBM Power8 machine and created VM(centos7) for installing Jira.
