Mastering JIRA 7 - Second Edition
By :
JIRA requires a Java Developers Kit (JDK) or Java Runtime Environment (JRE) platform to be installed on your server's operating system.
If you install JIRA from an archive file then the JDK needs to be installed and set up separately on your system. The Windows Installer and Linux Installer don't need to install the JDK as these installers come with the JDK in-built.
You can download the JDK from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html.
Select the version relevant to your operating system and architecture. JIRA 7 requires JDK 1.8 to run smoothly.
The steps to install the JDK on Windows are as follows:
C:\java (don't install it in C:\Program Files\). The JDK specific directory, such as C:\Java\jdk1.8.0_92, will be created.JAVA_HOME windows environment variable. It should point to the directory where JDK is installed, C:\Java\jdk1.8.0_92, on the Windows machine.Using the link given in the preceding section, download the JDK RPM installer, jdk-8u92-linux-x64.rpm, and install it at a location of your choice.
Set the JAVA_HOME variable as export JAVA_HOME = /path/to/java.
