This guided tour introduces you to the basics of using Jenkins and its main feature, Jenkins Pipeline. This tour uses the "standalone" Jenkins distribution, which runs locally on your own machine.
For this tour, you will require:
A machine with:
256 MB of RAM, although more than 2 GB is recommended
10 GB of drive space (for Jenkins and your Docker image)
The following software installed:
Java 8 or 11 (either a JRE or Java Development Kit (JDK) is fine)
Docker (navigate to Get Docker site to access the Docker download that’s suitable for your platform)
| If using the weekly release line starting with 2.353, Java 11 is required. The Long Term Support release line will continue to support Java 8 until September 2022, when it will match the weekly release line requirement of Java 11. |
Open up a terminal in the download directory
Run java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=8080
Browse to http://localhost:8080
Follow the instructions to complete the installation
When the installation is complete, you can start putting Jenkins to work!
