JIRA 5.2.8-#851 README
----------------------------------------------

Thank you for downloading JIRA 5.2.8. This distribution comes with a
built-in Tomcat 7.0.29 application server, so it runs (almost)
out of the box.

BRIEF INSTALL GUIDE
-------------------

1. Install Oracle's (formerly Sun's) Java Development Kit (JDK) or
   Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.6 or above:

   http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

2. Set the JAVA_HOME variable to where you installed Java. The Windows
   and Linux installers will do this for you. See the following instructions
   for details:
