Download the installer

For Windows and macOS users, you can download the latest version of the installer via Atlassian Marketplace:

Installing from Package Managers

If you prefer you can use a suitable package manager for your operating system to install the Atlassian SDK.

If you previously installed the SDK using tar.gz and added the SDK folder to your PATH, you'll need to remove it from your PATH before starting.

Debian / Ubuntu Linux

On a Debian-based Linux system like Ubuntu, you can install the SDK using apt-get or aptitude:

First, set up the Atlassian SDK repositories:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb https://packages.atlassian.com/debian/atlassian-sdk-deb/ stable contrib" >>/etc/apt/sources.list'

Download the public key using curl or wget:

wget https://packages.atlassian.com/api/gpg/key/public

Add the public key to apt to verify the package signatures automatically:
1
sudo apt-key add public

Then, run the install:

1
2

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install atlassian-plugin-sdk

RPM / RHEL / CentOS / Fedora (Yum)

To install on systems that use the Yum package manager:

Create the repo file in your /etc/yum.repos.d/ folder:
1
sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/artifactory.repo

Configure the repository details:

[Artifactory]
name=Artifactory
baseurl=https://packages.atlassian.com/yum/atlassian-sdk-rpm/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Install the SDK:

1
2
3

sudo yum clean all
sudo yum updateinfo metadata
sudo yum install atlassian-plugin-sdk

Homebrew (OS X)

As of 4.0, a pkg installer is available for OSX. It installs the SDK in /usr/share and adds links for the atlas commands into /usr/local/bin. An uninstall.sh script is also provided in /usr/share/atlassian-plugin-sdk-N.N

Alternatively Homebrew (aka, Brew) is an open source package manager for OS X and is an alternative to MacPorts. You can learn more about Homebrew and how to it install it at http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/

To install the Atlassian Plugin SDK in Brew:

Add the Atlassian "Tap" to your Brew:
1
brew tap atlassian/tap

Next, install the SDK via the atlassian/tap:

brew install atlassian/tap/atlassian-plugin-sdk

This installs the SDK. Later, if you want to upgrade the SDK to a new version, use:

1
2

brew update
brew upgrade atlassian/tap/atlassian-plugin-sdk

Installing an earlier version of the SDK

If you need to install an earlier version of the SDK for any reason, you will find it on the Atlassian Marketplace.

The Atlassian Marketplace contains versions of the Atlassian Plugin SDK after 4.0. If you need an older version than what is available on the Marketplace, you can get it from the Atlassian Public Maven repository.

Remove an existing install, if necessary, using the method appropriate for your operating system. For example, for Debian / Ubuntu Linux, enter the command:
1
sudo apt-get --purge remove atlassian-plugin-sdk
Download the version you want from the Atlassian Marketplace:
Once you have the package for the version you want, install it using the method appropriate for your operating system. For example, for Debian / Ubuntu Linux, use:
1
sudo dpkg -i package_name
Where package_name is the name of the file you downloaded. For example:
1
sudo dpkg -i atlassian-plugin-sdk_4.1.5_all.deb
The PATH isn't set automatically, so add the bin directory to your PATH manually, say in etc/environment:
1
/usr/share/atlassian-plugin-sdk-4.1.5/bin
