__JIRA 101_Getting Started_Installing JIRA

You may want to watch the video showing how to do this.

1. Download the JIRA Standalone Windows Installer (.EXE) file from the Atlassian Download Center.
2. Run the .EXE file, choose an installation directory, a home directory and a port ('8080' will do). We recommend that you choose to 'Run JIRA as a service'.
3. JIRA will start automatically when the Installer finishes, if you selected the option to launch JIRA at the end of the Installer.
4. To access JIRA, go to your web browser and type this address: http://localhost:8080. Windows 'Start' menu shortcuts will also be added which you can also use to start and stop JIRA.
5. Follow the Setup Wizard. This will guide you through the process of setting up your JIRA server, creating an Admin user and (optionally) setting up email.

For more help on the technical procedures in this section, see the JIRA Installation Guide.
