# Setting up a development environment
The following are required to install and test the app:
1. A Jira Cloud instance

Atlassian provides free instances for development and testing. [Click here to sign up](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/marketplace/getting-started/#free-developer-instances-to-build-and-test-your-app).
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
1. A GitLab instance available over the internet
For the app to work, Jira Cloud should be able to connect to the GitLab instance through the internet.

To easily expose your local development environment, you can use tools like
[serveo](https://medium.com/@osanda.deshan/how-to-forward-my-local-port-to-public-using-serveo-4979f352a3bf)
or [ngrok](https://ngrok.com). These also take care of SSL for you because Jira
requires all connections to the app host to be over SSL.

```plaintext

If the install was successful, you should see the **GitLab for Jira** app under **Manage apps**.

_Note that any changes to the app descriptor requires you to uninstall then reinstall the app._
