Server

Server add-ons are UPM installed add-ons that provide server specific capabilities. There are two types of server add-ons.

Clients

Clients are standalone command line tools installed on any system (Windows, Linux, OSX) with Java 1.8 or higher. Clients access Atlassian products via remote APIs. Clients are installed by downloading and unpacking the distribution zip. Clients are included with any server add-on purchase and may require an installed server add-on for each server they connect with.
