I am trying to start JIRA 7.8.0 in the JIRA SDK on Linux. It says JVM does not have enough memory

I am trying to start JIRA 7.8.0 in the JIRA SDK on Linux.  

It says Jira had problems starting up. And in the details says ...

Setup: Your memory allocation pool settings need attention

JIRA runs in a Java virtual machine (JVM), and this JVM is allocated an amount of memory to enable JIRA to run. These amounts can be manually configured.

• The maximum memory allocation pool (-Xmx) is required to be at least 786m.

I tried the solution for a full install of Jira but the SDK is obviously different and the following steps could not be accomplished.

To increase heap space memory in Linux installations:

1. In your <JIRA application installation directory>/bin (or <Tomcat Installation Directory>/bin for JIRA WAR installations), open the setenv.sh file.
2. Find the sections JVM_MINIMUM_MEMORY= and JVM_MAXIMUM_MEMORY=
3. See Diagnosis above and enter the appropriate values.

Does Atlassian have to update the SDK ?

Or are there some steps I could follow to resolve this?

Glenn, 

Based on your question, I assume you are running JIRA locally using the Atlassian SDK? 

You should be able to append a command-line parameter to help resolve this. 

For example: 

atlas-run-standalone --product jira --version 7.8.0 --jvmargs "-Xms512m -Xmx768m"

Yes I am running JIRA locally using the Atlassian SDK.

I tried your suggestion and it worked.

Many thanks.

atlas-run-standalone --product jira --version 7.8.0 --jvmargs "-Xms512m -Xmx768m"

i'm not able to understand from that what your saying?
