To install Jira on CentOS 7.x use following steps:

   wget https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/downloads/binary/atlassian-jira-software-7.3.0-x64.bin

2. Make the installer executable

   chmod a+x atlassian-jira-software-X.X.X-x64.bin

3. Run the installer as root user:

   ./atlassian-jira-software-X.X.X-x64.bin

4. Enter appropriate values for installation during installation prompts. After successful installation Jira login URL is displayed. Jira listens on all (0.0.0.0/0) interfaces by default. Hence Jira can be accessed by appropriate DNS name, if any, is assigned to the machine
5. Install & Configure database

      systemctl enable mariadb

   3. Harden mariadb installation and configure mariadb root password:

      mysql_secure_installation

   4. Add below parameters in '/etc/my.cnf' file

      CREATE DATABASE jiradb CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin;
      grant all privileges on jiradb.* to 'jira'@'%' identified by '<secret>';
      flush privileges;
      exit

   6. Restart database so that configuration changes in /etc/my.cnf take effect

      systemctl resart mariadb
