Prerequisites for integrating with Bitbucket

Edit online

Before you configure the integration between IBM Engineering Workflow Management (EWM) and Bitbucket, ensure that your environment meets these prerequisites.

Ensure that you have met the following prerequisites:

  • The EWM server is installed and configured. For details about installing and setting up the EWM server, see Installing IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management.
  • Bitbucket server is installed and configured. It is assumed that the Bitbucket server is hosted on a Linux operating system.
  • The following software is installed on the Linux system that hosts the Bitbucket server:
    • Node runtime
    • npm
    • sed
    • bash
    • git
  • On the system that hosts the Bitbucket server, ensure that the following executables are available on the PATH environment variable:
    • node.js or node
    • npm
    • sed
    • bash
    • curl
    • git
  • Check whether git is available on the PATH by running the following command: whereis git. If it returns the following output, then git is not available in the system PATH: git:. Otherwise, you should see output similar to this: git:/usr/bin/git. Repeat this step for the other executables listed in the previous step.
  • On a Linux system, ensure that the bash executable is not a symbolic link to a different shell by running the following command:
    bash --version

    Verify that the output starts with GNU bash, version.
