This page describes how to install a plugin in Bamboo. You can use plugins to customize and extend the functionality of Bamboo.
A number of plugins are available from the Atlassian Plugin Exchange. You can also create your own as described in the Bamboo Plugin Guide.
Adding a plugin from the Atlassian Plugin Exchange
Go to the Plugin Manager in Bamboo:
- Log in as a user with the 'Admin' global permission.
- Click Administration in the top navigation bar.
- Click Plugin Manager, in the left-hand panel, under 'Plugins'.
To find a plugin in the Atlassian Plugin Exchange and add it to Bamboo:
- Click the 'Install' tab in the UPM. You will see a list of featured plugins.
- Search for your plugin as follows:
- Enter some keywords that describe the plugin in the 'Search the Plugin Exchange' search box and press 'Enter'.
- Alternatively, browse to the desired plugin in the list. You can choose 'Featured', 'Popular', 'Supported' (by Atlassian) or 'All available' from the 'Plugins to show' dropdown to see a different list of plugins.
- Click the 'Install' button for the desired plugin to add it to your application. A confirmation message and the plugin details will appear when the plugin is installed successfully.
Note: You may need to restart your application for your change to take effect. The Universal Plugin Manager will inform you if this is the case.
Note: Not all plugins can be automatically installed. Some required manual installation. These plugins will have a 'Download' button instead of an 'Install' button. In these cases, you should read and follow the plugin's installation instructions.
