# Installing and configuring the Talend Cloud API Tester Maven plugin

Store your Maven plugin in Azure Artifacts to run your pipelines.

Information noteNote: If you have your own Maven repository (Nexus, Artifactory, etc.), refer to this repository's documentation to learn how to upload the plugin.

## About this task

The Talend Cloud API Tester Maven plugin is not a public artifact (it is not published on Maven Central or any other public repository). Therefore, you need to store it in a repository of your own so that your CI/CD pipeline can run.
