Installation and Use

Installation

• Unzip the distribution package and put the enclosed directory in a convenient location
• It is recommended that you open the bamboo.bat file with an editor and customize it for your environment by adding server, user, and password parameters. Follow the example in the comments and make sure you do not remove the %* at the end of the line.

Use

• On a command line, cd to the directory where you installed the client
• On Windows
  
  • Run bamboo
• On Linux, Mac, or Unix
  
  • Run ./bamboo.sh
• On any system supporting java
  
  • Run java -jar lib/bamboo-cli-3.x.x.jar
• This will show help text for the command line interface client
• The client defaults to use a user of automation. Either add this user with all the authorities required to do the actions you want or specify a different user parameter
