Jenkins is a self-contained, open source automation server which can be used to automate all sorts of tasks related to building, testing, and delivering or deploying software.
Jenkins is a free and open source automation server. Jenkins helps to automate the non-human part of the software development process, with continuous integration and facilitating technical aspects of continuous delivery.
The creator of Jenkins is Kohsuke Kawaguchi. Released under the MIT License, Jenkins is free software.
The Jenkins project was originally named Hudson, and was renamed after a dispute with Oracle, which had forked the project and claimed rights to the project name. The Oracle fork, Hudson, continued to be developed for a time before being donated to the Eclipse Foundation. Oracle's Hudson is no longer maintained and was announced as obsolete in February 2017.
Jenkins can be installed through native system packages, Docker, or even run standalone by any machine with a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed.
Let’s get started.
First, you need to install JDK. Once Java is running, you can install Jenkins.
1. Click here to download the latest Jenkins package for Windows (currently it is version 2.204.2).
2. Unzip the file to a folder and click on the Jenkins exe file.
3. Click "Next" to start the installation.
4. Click the "Change…" button if you want to install Jenkins in another folder. In this example I will keep the default option and click on the "Next" button.
5. Click the "Install" button to start the installation process.
6. When done, click the "Finish" button to complete the installation process.
7. You will automatically be redirected to a local Jenkins page, or you can paste the URL http://localhost:8080 in a browser.
8. To unlock Jenkins, copy the password from the file at C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\secrets\initialAdminPassword and paste it in the Administrator password field. Then, click the “Continue” button.
9. You can install either the suggested plugins or selected plugins you choose. To keep it simple, we will install the suggested plugins.
10. Wait until the plugins are completely installed.
11. The next thing we should do is create an admin user for Jenkins. Put in your details and click "Save and Continue".
12. Click "Save and Finish" to complete the Jenkins installation.
