Installation:

1. Navigate to this page and download 'node-v8.5.0-x64.msi' file (or x86 depending on your OS)
   
   
2. Install node from the downloaded file. Make sure add path is checked.
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Open Windows console as an Administrator (Ctrl+Shift+Enter) and run commands listed below to make sure everything is installed properly: 
   
   Command "node -v" should return v8.5.0
   Command "npm -v" should return 5.3.0
   
   
   
   

4. Install 'puppeteer' by executing the following command in your terminal. 
   
   

   If you use Chrome browser it is recommended to close it before proceeding with further installation.

   
   "npm install -g puppeteer@1.0.0"
   
   
   
   

5. Then just to make sure that 'puppeteer' is installed properly, run the below command. 
   
   "npm list -g --depth=0"
   
   
   
   The expected result should show something like:
   

   C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\npm

   `-- puppeteer@1.0.0
   
   

6. Perform few more steps while being logged in as an Administrator
   
   6.1. Open the console, execute the command given below and copy the result returned (an outcome of the command should show directory which puppeteer is installed in)

   "npm root --quiet -g"
   
   
   
   6.2. Set the new System Variable.
   
   Open System Properties window > Advanced > Click on 'Environment Variables...'

   
   
   
   Add new System Variable by clicking 'New...' button.
   
   
   
   Variable name: NODE_PATH
   Variable value: <copied directory from step 6.1>
   
   
   
   Apply changes by clicking 'OK' button.
   
   
   
   6.3. After setting System Variable it is important to run the Jira Server in the new console window. So go ahead and stop the Jira Server (close the console if it has not 
   been closed automatically) and start it again.

   
   

7. Log in as a user the Jira server is run, open new console and execute:
   
   "node -e "require('puppeteer')"
   
   There should be no error shown (just an empty line) like in the screenshot below:
   
   

   
   

Install node from the EPEL Repository

0. All steps should to be performed as a root user. 

1. Make sure you have curl installed:
> yum install curl sudo

2. Make sure you have EPEL repository available:
> sudo yum install epel-release

3. Install NodeSource repository:
> curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo bash -

4. Install node:
> sudo yum install nodejs

5. Install puppeteer package:
> sudo npm install -g --allow-root --unsafe-perm=true puppeteer@1.0.0

6. Install build tools:
> sudo yum install gcc-c++ make

7. In order to check whether all the required dependencies are installed, go to directory:
> cd /usr/lib/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-xxxx/chrome-linux

and run

> ./chrome --version

NOTE: If you don't have 'node_modules' in your /usr/lib directory, execute the following command to find out where it is installed:
> npm root --quiet -g

8. In case of an execution error, it is probably because of missing dependencies.

According to official documentation, here are the dependencies that are required to be installed:
> yum install pango.x86_64 libXcomposite.x86_64 libXcursor.x86_64 libXdamage.x86_64 libXext.x86_64 libXi.x86_64 libXtst.x86_64 cups-libs.x86_64 libXScrnSaver.x86_64 libXrandr.x86_64 GConf2.x86_64 alsa-lib.x86_64 atk.x86_64 gtk3.x86_64 -y

9. Set NODE_PATH variable:

> echo "export NODE_PATH=$(npm root --quiet -g)" >> /etc/profile.d/lib.sh

0. All steps should to be performed as a root user. 

1. Make sure you have curl installed:
> apt-get install curl sudo

2. Install NodeSource repository:
> curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -

3. Install node:
> sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

4. Install puppeteer package:
> sudo npm install -g --allow-root --unsafe-perm=true puppeteer@1.0.0

5. Install build tools if it's necessary:
> sudo yum install gcc-c++ make

6. In order to check whether all the required dependencies are installed, go to directory:
> cd /usr/lib/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-xxxx/chrome-linux

and run

> ./chrome --version

NOTE: If you don't have 'node_modules' in your /usr/lib directory execute a below command to find out where it is installed:
> npm root --quiet -g

8. In case of an execution error, it is probably because of missing dependencies.

According to official documentation, here are the dependencies that are required to be installed:
> sudo apt-get install -y gconf-service libasound2 libatk1.0-0 libc6 libcairo2 libcups2 libdbus-1-3 libexpat1 libfontconfig1 libgcc1 libgconf-2-4 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libnspr4 libpango-1.0-0 libpangocairo-1.0-0 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libx11-xcb1 libxcb1 libxcomposite1 libxcursor1 libxdamage1 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxss1 libxtst6 ca-certificates fonts-liberation libappindicator1 libnss3 lsb-release xdg-utils wget

9. Set NODE_PATH variable:

> echo "export NODE_PATH=$(npm root --quiet -g)" >> /etc/profile.d/lib.sh

1) Execute npm root -g in your Server's terminal

2) Navigate PATH/FROM/PREVIOUS/STEP/puppeteer/ (f.e. /usr/lib/node_modules/puppeteer/),

3) Grant execute/read/write permissions for .local-chromium directory (including all children) to Linux User, which runs Jira Server (contact your Jira Administrator) e.g. using the below commands: 

sudo chmod -R a+rwx .local-chromium

1) Run npm root -g in your Server's terminal,

2) On your machine, where Jira is installed, find directory of Jira (the path should be like: ".../atlassian/jira"), 

3) Find "start-jira.sh" file and open it using a text editor, 

4) Add export NODE_PATH=/PATH/FROM/STEP/ONE (f.e. export NODE_PATH=/usr/lib/node_modules/node_modules) to the beginning of that file.
