Setup Wizard

PDF |
After you have installed JIRA, and accessed its URL (eg. http://localhost:8080 or http://localhost:8080/jira) for the first time, you will be presented with a brief
setup wizard to configure JIRA.
|
Step 1 of 3: Application Properties
| |
| | |
The first page of the wizard looks like this:
On this page you can set some of the JIRA configuration settings, and enter your license key.
We recommend that you specify a backup path as this will allow Jira to periodically backup the database.
For more details on the settings and what they mean, see Configuring JIRA.
You can obtain an evaluation license key which will allow JIRA to run unrestricted
for 30 days.

Step 2 of 3: Administrator Account
| |
| | |
After completing the first page, the second page of the wizard sets up an administrator account:
Once this initial administrator account is created, that administrator can then create other
administrators.
|
Step 3 of 3: Email Notification
| |
| | |
The last page of the setup wizard allows you to configure the outgoing emails from JIRA.
To disable email notifications (you can always enable them later), just click the Disable Email
Notifications button.
For the outgoing mail server choice, you must either specify the JNDI location of a
javax.mail.Session object (usually provided by your application server) or specify the location of
an SMTP server.
Once you complete this step, JIRA should be set up and ready for use.
