Aim: Write the steps and considerations to install Jenkins for software development projects and
should be kept in mind during the installation process.
Objective: To familiarize myself with the installation process of Jenkins Server. We are going
to use the following essential steps.
Step 1: Install Java
Jenkins is a Java-based application, so you'll need to install the Java Development Kit (JDK). You
can download and install OpenJDK or Oracle JDK.
• Download the JDK from the official Oracle website or the OpenJDK website.
https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-downloads.html.
• Run the JDK installer (‘.exe’ file) and follow the installation instructions to complete the
installation.
Step 2: Download Jenkins
1. Visit the Jenkins Download Page:
• Open a web browser and go to the Jenkins download page at
https://www.jenkins.io/download/.
2. Select Windows Installer:
• On the Jenkins download page, you'll see a section for Windows. Click on the "Windows"
link to download the Windows installer.

Step 3: Install Jenkins
1. Run the Jenkins Installer:
• Locate the downloaded Jenkins installer (‘.msi’ file) and double-click on it to run the installer.
2. Jenkins Setup Wizard:
• The Jenkins Setup Wizard will open. Follow these steps:
• Click "Next" to start the installation.
3. Choose Installation Directory:
• Choose the installation directory for Jenkins. The default directory is usually fine,
but you can change it if needed.
• Click "Next" to proceed.
4. Select Service Account:
• Choose the service account that Jenkins will run under. The default option is "Install as a
service," which is recommended. You can also choose "Run service as" and specify a
custom account if necessary.
• Click "Next" to continue.
5. Configure Port:
• Configure the port for Jenkins. The default port is 8080, but you can change it if needed.
6. Plugin Selection:
• Choose whether to install suggested plugins or select custom plugins. For most users,
installing the suggested plugins is a good choice.
• Click "Next" to proceed.
7. Create Admin User:
• Create an admin user for Jenkins and specify a password. Make sure to remember
this password, as you'll need it to unlock Jenkins.
• Click "Next" to continue.
8. Installation:
• Click "Install" to begin the installation.
9. Installation Complete:

• The installer will complete the installation, and you'll see a message indicating the success
of the installation.
• Click "Finish" to close the installer.
Step 4: Start Jenkins
• Jenkins will start automatically as a Windows service. There's no need to manually start it.
Step 5: Access Jenkins
• Open a web browser and go to ‘http://localhost:8080’ to access the Jenkins web interface.
• If you've installed Jenkins on a different machine, replace "localhost" with the hostname or
IP address of that machine.
Step 6: Unlock Jenkins
• In the web interface, you'll be prompted to enter the initial admin password. To find this
password, navigate to the location where Jenkins stores it, typically in a file called
"initialAdminPassword" in the Jenkins installation directory.
Step 7: Complete Setup
• Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup by creating an admin user and
installing recommended plugins.
Step 8: Start Using Jenkins
• Once the setup is complete, you can start using Jenkins to create and run jobs (builds and
pipelines).
Learning outcomes (What I have learnt):
• Learn about the installation of Jenkins on their systems.
• Understand the need for Java and install it.
• Learn about configuring Jenkins as a service.
• Learn to create an admin user during the initial setup.
• Learn about the installation and management of Jenkins plugins.
