Is this correct that Jira is installed on one's server or local computer and that's the only way to run it?
If not, how can I run, or connect to, Jira on Atlassian's server?
Namely, at this point I don't want to install anything on my VPS or computer, and instead I want to be able to run Jira in the cloud, the same way I'd sigu up for and then use bitbucket or github. That is, by creating an account. I need Jira for a couple of days only, to test some REST API.
Where does one sign up for Jira? There's no way, is there?
At the current time Atlassian provides a free plan for its Jira cloud service. See here: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/pricing
