Platform specific
| Platform | Needs | Tested on | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windows | pwsh (PowerShell 7+) or powershell (5.1, ships with Windows) | Windows 11 | execute .ps1 scripts |
| Linux | bash | Ubuntu 22.04 | execute .sh scripts |
| macOS | bash/sh | ⚠️ not tested | execute .sh scripts |
On Linux and macOS, the Jira client also requires curl and jq on your
PATH. Python 3 is recommended on all platforms because the workflows handle
substantial JSON data from the Jira and GitHub APIs, although it is not mandatory.
