JIRA Client System Requirements

  • Server: Atlassian JIRA, version 3.3 or newer (any edition)
    • Remote API: not required for read-only access, required to upload any changes (see "Accept remote API calls" setting in JIRA configuration);
    • I18N: JIRA servers with localized interfaces are not yet supported (JIRA Client may work anyway, please try and let us know if there are problems);
  • Additional server authentication: Basic HTTP, Digest, NTLM version 1 (NTLMv2 is not yet supported);
  • Operating System: Microsoft Windows, Linux, Apple Mac OS X or any other supported by Java;
  • System Memory: 256MB required, 512MB recommended;
  • Hard Drive Space: 150MB required, 300MB recommended;
  • Screen Resolution: 1024x768 or better;
  • Displays: multiple displays are supported, but JIRA Client should be restarted when a display is connected or disconnected;
  • Network connection: Atlassian JIRA produces a lot of traffic when answering JIRA Client requests, so performance over slow network connection may be degraded. (Hint: turn on "Use Gzip Compression" setting in JIRA configuration to reduce traffic.)
  • Java: In case you downloaded a distribution without Java bundled in, you will need Java 1.5 or later. Java can be downloaded here.
