Thank you for downloading Bamboo 5.7.0 - Standalone distribution. This distribution comes with a built-in Tomcat 7.0.40 web server and hsql database, so it runs (almost) out the box.
Full documentation is available online at:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Bamboo+installation+guide+for+Linux
A common startup problem is when another program has claimed port 8085, which Bamboo is configured to run on by default. To avoid this port conflict, Bamboo's port can be changed in conf/server.xml.
If you have any installation (or other) problems, please see the resources listed at https://support.atlassian.com.
