This section has documentation on installing, using and administering JIRA. Developers and admins looking to extend JIRA should also consult the JIRA Space in Confluence.

Here are some pointers to get you started:

Not yet downloaded JIRA? You can get it from the JIRA download page.
Setting up or installing JIRA? Start with the requirements and installation guide.
Upgrading JIRA? Follow the upgrading docs. Don't forget to set up an external database.
To learn about JIRA the best place to start is with the basic concepts of issues and projects.
Having problems or errors with JIRA? See debugging problems.
Looking to extend JIRA? Read extending JIRA or browse the API docs, before consulting the JIRA Space in Confluence.
The FAQ should cover any other questions you have.

The documentation can also be viewed in PDF format, or downloaded as XML source for custom intranet deployments.

If you have any questions about JIRA after reading the documentation here, the best place to start is the mailing list.

JIRA's documentation is an ongoing effort and we are constantly trying to improve it. If you have any suggestions about areas you'd like better documented, or ideas about how to improve the existing docs - please contact us.
