Dear Atlassian Community,
Soon I will need to work with Jirashell to explore some API components, but first I want to know do I need any specific script runner and, in particular, Python, so I can download and install the shell, or the regular cmd and PowerShell, on Windows, will do the work? I tried running the scripts through Linux OS but I did not have much success..
Can you share with me some helpful advice? I would be very grateful!
Regards,
Nadezhda
Hi Nadezhda,
The "Jirashell" I've done a little bit with in the past is a Python library, so yes, you would be working in Python when coding with it. You don't need anything else - the library helps you write Python scripts that talk to Jira over its REST API.
Thank you Nic!
Should I download any specific Python? The current I have is Python 3.10 (64-bit) but when calling "pip install jira" it seems that it does not recognize the command, so I start to think that I do not have the right tool.
Cheers,
Nadya

Any version your version of Jirashell works with will be fine.
Jira does not have a pip install, Jira is a service that you download and run on your servers, or sign up for a Cloud install where Atlassian will run it for you.
The Jirashell I've used is a utility that helps me (code for) talking to remote Jira services.

Oh, so I got it all wrong. Well, that is a clearance, thank you so much Nic!
Since we are on Cloud, where do I sign up for it to get it running or just kindly ask the support for this?
Regards,
Nadya

If you have not got a Jira Cloud system already, start with a trial at https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

Alright, it seems we misunderstood each other. Let me try again:
What instrument/software did you use to run the scripts and codes?
