Starting with Standalone Executable (Server/DC/Cloud)
You can use command line tool to access cloud sites too, but you have to purchase cloud version of the add-on. Once you purchase the cloud version, you can use command line tool to access your cloud site.
Installation is consist of installing the plugin on your Jira and installing the companion command line tool on your computer. Without one the other part will not work properly. You need to install the plugin before installing the command line tool, because command line tool needs to communicate with plugin during installation.
Installing The Plugin
Install ATLAS CLI for Jira from the Atlassian Marketplace just like any other plugin. You can either download the Jar file (for server/DC version of the app) and upload it to UPM or you can install it directly from in app marketplace (for server/DC and Cloud version of the app).
Installing the Command Line Tool (ATLAS CLI for Jira)
Installing is not different than any other NPM package. Just be sure that you have a version of NodeJS which has at least version 16.0.0.
You don’t need a separate license for the command line tool. It will work for both the cloud and DC versions of the Jira as long as you have a license for the corresponding plugin.
npm install -g @thestarware/atlascli-jira@latest
