First steps with ESU

How to install ESU

The full installation process takes less than 3 minutes. We’ve built an auto-configuration so that you and your team can gain immediate value from installing ESU.  

There are two ways in which you can install ESU to your Jira Instance

  1. The Atlassian Marketplace

  2. Inside Jira

How to install ESU from the Atlassian Marketplace

Visit https://marketplace.atlassian.com/ and search for ESU in the search bar. It will be the first app on the list. You can also visit ESU on the Marketplace directly here.

Try it for free. Start by selecting your hosting. ESU is available for Cloud, Server or Data Center. Next click Start free trial. You can request for ESU to be installed by your Jira Admin if you do not have the permissions to install new apps.

No credit card details are required to trial the app. Once you have completed your evaluation you can choose to remain on the subscription or remove it from your Jira instance.
