Bitbucket Install Unsupported Git Message

[Christian]

I'm installing Bitbucket 5.4 on a google cloud compute instance. I'm following the list of dependencies found here:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/supported-platforms-776640981.html

I installed git lfs:

But when I try to install bitbucket, I get the following message:

Unsupported Git version found [1.8.3.1]. Please upgrade Git to a supportedversion before installing Bitbucket.See http://go.atlassian.com/installgit for more information.NOTE: If you proceed without a working Git, Bitbucket won't be able to startafter installation until a working Git is found.If you proceed without a working Git, Bitbucket won't be able to start after installation. Are you sure you want to continue?Yes [y, Enter], No [n]

[Julius Davies _bit-booster_com_ · Accepted solution]

Git is pretty easy to build from source as a non-root regular user, and it installs itself very politely into ~/bin/.

I'd just do that (build git from source), and then adjust your $PATH variable so that ~/bin/ comes before everything else.  Fire up Bitbucket with that $PATH in place and you should be good!

Here are the steps.  The build dependencies for the "apt-get install" invocation below come from the git-scm.com documentation.

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev libexpat1-dev gettext \
  libz-dev libssl-dev

git clone https://github.com/git/git.git

cd git
git checkout v2.14.2
make clean
make
make install

[Christian]

Thank you for the response. Is there a difference between yum  install and apt-get? I tried yum first using:

yum install curl-devel expat-devel gettext-devel \
  openssl-devel zlib-devel

Once I was done with the instructions your provided from git, I get the same result that bitbucket thinks git 1.8.3.1 is unsupported.

Thanks for your help.

[Julius Davies _bit-booster_com_]

There's no material difference between apt-get and yum.

Maybe try setting $PATH in bitbucket-5.4/bin/set-jre-home.sh ?

I set it like this:

export PATH=/home/gsylvie/bin:$PATH

Also try setting $PATH in your current environment (or in ~/.bashrc).  If it's set properly, then this will return the desired value:

$ git --version
git version 2.14.2

[Christian Glockner]

Hi Christian,

Git 1.8 is indeed unsupported by Bitbucket Server. The problem you're dealing with is that the repositories for your OS don't contain any newer version of git, so you will have to build your own using the instructions provided by G. Sylvie Davies earlier.

Cheers,

All, thanks for the replies. I'm new to linux administration and it's possible I'm not following the instructions correctly. I need to lookup how to set $PATH and this link mentioned to not do it in bashrc but in the bash_profile instead:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/26047/how-to-correctly-add-a-path-to-path#26059

This is what I've done so far:

[root@server]# vi ~/.bash_profile

[root@server]# cat ~/.bash_profile#

.bash_profile# Get the aliases and functionsif [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrcfi# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/binexport PATH=/home/username/bin:$PATH

[root@server]# git --version

git version 1.8.3.1

I've also tried rebooting the server. No changes on git version.

[Christian]

Hey all, sorry it took long to respond. I essentially followed the instructions provided by G. Sylvie Davies with the help of these two sites:

https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git

and

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-git-on-centos-7

I'll post steps so anyone can follow for reference. Thanks all!

[Julius Davies _bit-booster_com_]

Glad you got it working!  Maybe original approach needed an "export" - I'm not sure:

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/binexport

export PATH=/path/to/dir/with/git/binary:$PATH

(And of course use real username rather than "username") ;-)

Above does work for me:

$ export PATH=/home/gsylvie/gits/git2.14.1:$PATH

$ hash -r

$ git --version
git version 2.14.1

(Sometimes I need to throw in the "hash -r", not sure why.)

[Ahmed]

its prob easier if you just enable the extras and install a newer version of git e.g. 

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

and in the extras section, make sure u have a 1 after enabled=

[extras]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Extras
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=extras
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

run a 

yum clean all && yum update -y

Install scl

yum install centos-release-scl -y

Install git

yum install rh-git29-git.x86_64

enabled git:

scl enable rh-git29 bash

create a symlink to git:

ln -s /opt/rh/rh-git29/root/usr/bin/git /usr/bin/git

Check version:

git --version

git version 2.9.3

DONE

A few other things i noticed had to be done:

cat /opt/atlassian/bitbucket/latest/bin/_start-webapp.sh |grep umask

# Uncommenting the following will set the umask for the webapp. It can be used to override the default  
umask 0027 

Start up the service and see how you go. Hope that helped
