Minyaa's Installation in 10 Steps

What is it?

It is the complete procedure to install Minyaa on a JIRA Standalone distribution, in order to perform your first evaluation.

Here, we present an installation of Minyaa 1.3.2 for JIRA 4.0.

Minyaa Installation

Prepare Standalone JIRA distribution :
Configure you JIRA so that it will be able to start :
  • Set your jira.home in atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/jira-application.properties
  • Configure your Database following the steps in JIRA: Connecting JIRA to a Database

    Note that you can evaluate Minyaa with HSQLDB. But if you do, some features of Minyaa Time will not be available
Copy Minyaa's JARs and its dependencies to the atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/lib folder :
  • jira-plugin-minyaa-core-4.0.0-1.3.2.jar
  • jira-plugin-minyaa-i18n-4.0.0-1.3.2.jar
  • jira-plugin-minyaa-projects-4.0.0-1.3.2.jar
  • jira-plugin-minyaa-spread-4.0.0-1.3.2.jar
  • jira-plugin-minyaa-time-4.0.0-1.3.2.jar
  • jira-plugin-minyaa-time-reports-4.0.0-1.3.2.jar
  • jira-plugin-minyaa-tools-4.0.0-1.3.2.jar
  • jira-plugin-minyaa-workflows-4.0.0-1.3.2.jar
  • minyaa-license-manager-1.6.jar
  • dwr-2.0.5.jar
  • truelicense-1.29.jar
  • truexml-1.29.jar
Depending on JIRA's version, the list of JARs may change.
Copy your Minyaa license key file (*.key) to the atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/lib folder

This will allow Minyaa to automatically register your trial license when JIRA starts-up

Start JIRA.
Start the default Setup Wizard:
  • Enter JIRA Aplpication Title,
  • Select Indexes, Backup and Attachments directories,
  • Enter JIRA License Key
Minyaa will automatically register your trial license. 
[minyaa.license.managers.ProductLicenseManager] There is no license certificate installed for Minyaa Suite for JIRA.
[minyaa.license.manager.AbstractPluginLicenseManager] Try Auto-Registration with Key file, if present!
[atlassian.jira.service.ConsistencyCheckerService] ConsistencyChecker is reported due to JIRA Setup ...
Details about Administrator Account are not required at this step, because Minyaa requires a restart just after.
