Installing Rights DNA™

Besides Rights DNA™ 4.0 itself, there are also two dependencies, two complementary apps that are installed with it:

  • SIL Engine™ – a library having countless utility routines, but most importantly, it contains a SIL™ language parser. 
  • warden – licensing support for several our apps

Installing via Atlassian Universal Plugin Manager

If you are connected to the Atlassian Marketplace website from your Jira administration console, you can install our apps directly from the Marketplace. For more information, see Installing add-ons and Universal Plugin Manager pages.

  1. Log into your Jira as Admin.
  2. In the cog wheel menu, go to Add-ons.
  3. In the search field of the Find new add-ons section, search for "Rights DNA™".

This installation method is the quickest way. You can also install by file upload, as described in the next section.


Installing by file upload

It might seem more complicated but a manual install is quite easy to do. After all, all you have to do is to copy certain files. Here's how.

  1. Download the Rights DNA™ file from the Atlassian Marketplace.
  2. Log into your Jira as Admin.
  3. From Jira administration console, click the Manage add-ons link.
  4. Click Upload add-on and select the file you downloaded, and click Upload.
  5. Install a license for Rights DNA™, that either can be provided as the rightsdna.lic file, or as the key generated via the Atlassian Marketplace. See more details about this in Licensing.

What should I do if I installed an incompatible version?

Rights DNA™ 4.0 is only compatible starting with Jira 7.0; JDK version should be at level 8.

If you have installed an incompatible version, perform the following steps:

  1. Uninstall warden.
  2. Uninstall SIL Engine™.
  3. Uninstall Rights DNA™.
  4. Install a version of Rights DNA™ that is compatible with your Jira version.
    SIL Engine™ and warden should now have the right versions as well.
