Installing Jenkins 2.164.1 CI Server in Ubuntu-16.04 LTS

Hi, in this post we are going to see how to install Jenkins Continuous Integration Server in ubuntu.

The following are the required soft wares needed to have a successful installation

1. java-1.6 or greater
2. Jenkins war file

We are going to use the WAR package of jenkins to have the server up and running

Since most of us know how to install java, I am not going to talk about installing it, you can check online resources(plenty available) on how to install the same.

Let us download the Jenkins-2.164.1.war file from the location given below

http://mirrors.jenkins.io/war-stable/latest/jenkins.war

Make sure you have the downloaded package in a location you prefer.

Open a terminal and execute the command below to have your server up and running

> java -jar <location-of-jenkins.war>/jenkins.war

When the server is ready to serve... you should be able to see console as something below...

After executing the above command, Open a browser and on the address bar type the location as below...

http://localhost:8080/

Now your browser would have you at the page as given below...

Well this concludes the installation of Jenkins CI server... hope you like it

thanks.
