Getting ready
Since the JIRA installer is only available for standalone installations on Windows and
Linux, we will be running you through the installer on Windows for this recipe:
• Check the upgrade notes for any special instructions as well as the target JIRA ver-
sion to make sure you can perform a direct upgrade.
• Make sure you have a valid JIRA license.
• Verify whether your current host environment is compatible with the target JIRA
version. This includes the Java version, database, and operating system.
• Verify whether your operating environment is compatible with the target's JIRA
version, specifically the browser requirements.
• Make sure that the add-ons you are using are compatible with the new version of
JIRA.
Tip
You can use the Universal Plugin Manager's JIRA update check utility to check for
add-on compatibility.
• Download the installer binary for your target JIRA version.
