You have to install fonts via yum.
Afterwards you can use the console mode with -c switch.
yum install dejavu-sans-fonts
./atlassian-XXXX.bin -c
Perfect, thanks!
It would be nice if their shell script gave more of an error there.

Did you already try
yum install dejavu-sans-fonts
then? That was the issue for me.

you have to install it from the tar.gz and follow instructions

I'm guessing you're installing on a server without a windowing server installed. That's not a problem, it's just an interface layer and not needed.
What are the errors you get when you try the installer with the -c so it doesn't try to fire up X?

the error is identical with or without the -c option

there error is identical if I run with or without the -c option, that is the bug, with the -c option it should not be asking for an X server installation
I ran multiple versions of the install .bin on clean redhat 7.3 instances all the same result
I didnt have time to screw around with this and I didn't want to install a full X server system on my server so I solved the issues by manually installing JIRA using the tar file install procedure instead of the .bin install
other folks out there with the same issue can also do that -- for me it was simple to do -- I am a web archictect and developer so I have a lot of experience with tomcat etc...
thanks

I must admit I'm stuck on this one - the problem is that the -c option works for me, I get a pile in plain text install questions.

Did anyone solve this? It's happening for me as well on RHEL 7.3.
