Jenkins is a very useful tool not for the DevOps engineer but for the whole agile team. From coding to the last deployment of code it is a widely accepted tool of continuous integration. In this blog post, I will be sharing the steps to install Jenkins.
Jenkins can be installed on the local machine as well as server-client set up in the same way a new software can be added to the Application list.
Start with downloading Jenkins from https://jenkins.io/download/
Select the required version
Wait until the download completes
Once Jenkins will be downloaded to the required machine, follow these steps.
And the other way is to make it rawer and closer. So for that, you need to download either war or jar of Jenkins. Keeping in mind that Java set up is a prerequisite for setting this up.
Download Jenkins war, from here:-
Once Jenkins will be downloaded to the required machine, just follow these steps.
Open Console.
Go to the folder containing Jenkins’s war.
Run this command java -jar Jenkins.war
This will start the Jenkins server on the localhost with default port i.e. 8080.
If you want to start Jenkins server on some other port then the way is to use HTTP port as an argument while starting up the server via a console.
Now check the Jenkins is up and running by hitting localhost on the same machine or via IP of the machine.
Once the set up is done you are ready to create new credentials to start working with Jenkins.
I will be sharing more details in my next blog about the configurations and set up.
Till then stay tuned!
