Description

You can install apps directly from the Atlassian Marketplace using the url parameter provided if you know the download link. This article describes how to get the download link.

With CLI 7.0, it is much easier to just install using the app's Marketplace place key as the example shows on UPM Command Line Interface (CLI). We figure out the latest link for you. That makes these steps unnecessary unless you are on an older version of the CLI.

Server Link

  1. Go to the Marketplace listing for the app.
  2. Go to the Versions tab.
  3. Expand to see all versions.
  4. Hover over the version you want and copy the Download link.

Cloud Link

This is a bit more difficult. 

  1. Go to the Marketplace listing for the app.
  2. Go to the Versions tab.
  3. Expand to see all versions.
  4. Copy the URL of the current page - it will be something like: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.confluence.cli/versions.
  5. Insert /download before plugins and remove the "s" at the end to get something like: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/downloads/plugins/org.swift.confluence.cli/version.
  6. Find the current cloud build number - use your browser's View page source to find the first text that starts with data-build="1000.
  7. Add just the number to the URL to come up with something like: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/download/plugins/org.swift.confluence.cli/version/1000004.

Example

upm --action installApp --url https://marketplace.atlassian.com/download/plugins/org.swift.confluence.cli/version/1000004 --wait -s https://examplegear.atlassian.net/wiki
