Jenkins installation & setup on Ubuntu is very easy. You just need to follow some simple steps.
Download Jenkins
1. Download Jenkins WAR file to an appropriate directory on your machine:
or
Start Jenkins
2. Now open a terminal and navigate to the location, where jenkins.war file is located and run the WAR file of Jenkins:
- Note: Java is required to run jenkins.war file. So Java must be installed on the system.
java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=12000
Leave this command in running state in the terminal until you don’t want to shut down Jenkins & if you want to start the Jenkins again then run the same command.
Setup Jenkins
