Installing Jenkins

Installing Jenkins on Linux (Ubuntu)

PREREQUISITE

For installing jenkins please make sure to perform below prerequisite steps, if you already done with them, no need to do it again

1. Update your server

Use the below command to ensure your system package manager is up to date:

sudo apt update

update server

2. Installing java

Install Java-Java 8 runtime environments, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions are supported.

sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk   

install Jenkins

For moving further after prerequisite for installing jenkins, follow the below steps:-

1. Repository key need to added to the system.

wget -q -O - https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian/jenkins-ci.org.key | sudo apt-key add -

If the above command shows error in downloading or it shows some repository portion missing, then execute the below command

wget -q -O - https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable/jenkins.io.key | sudo apt-key add -

command jenkins

2. After adding key to system, the system returns OK. Next, We’ll append the Debian
package repository address to the server’s sources.list

echo deb https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/ | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list

jenkins list

3. When both of these are in place, We’ll run update so that apt-get will use the new repository:

sudo apt update

repository jenkins

4. We’ll install Jenkins and its dependencies: – On Debian and Debian-based distributions like Ubuntu you can install Jenkins through apt command.

sudo apt-get install jenkins

jenkins apt command
