Installing the Helix Plan Jira integration

For the integration to work, you must install and configure a Node.js application that connects to Helix Plan and Jira.

For information about uninstalling the integration, see Uninstalling the Helix Plan Jira integration.

1. Download the integration installer.

2. Unzip the integration package in the location where you want to install the integration.

3. In the Helix Plan/config directory in the integration installation directory, copy the example integration settings file and paste it to create a new file.

4. Rename the new file to JiraIntegrationConfig.json.

5. Edit the file with information about your integration. See Editing the integration settings file.

6. Run the integration installation script, which is named RunIntegration. The script is located in the builds directory in the integration installation directory.

The script installs Node.js and PM2, which are used by the integration. When you are prompted, use the default settings to install Node.js.

If you cannot run the installation script as an administrative user, you may need to adjust the execution policy to Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned. See the Windows help for information.

7. Verify that the SDK user can log in to Helix Plan. Use the following command in PowerShell to check for errors.
