# Exercise 1
|
|
|
|
In this exercise, you will practice installing and configuring Jenkins on your machine. Feel free to experiment with a different Jenkins distribution than the proposed WAR file.
|
|
|
|
## Installing Jenkins
|
|
|
|
1. Download the [latest stable Jenkins WAR file](http://mirrors.jenkins.io/war-stable/latest/jenkins.war). To download from the command line, use `wget http://mirrors.jenkins.io/war-stable/latest/jenkins.war`.
|
|
2. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory containing the WAR file.
|
|
3. Run the command `java -jar jenkins.war` to start Jenkins on port 8080. Provide the `--httpPort` option if you experience a port conflict e.g. `java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=9999`. For more information on starting and stopping Jenkins, see the [user guide](https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Starting+and+Accessing+Jenkins). After a couple of seconds you should see the message "Jenkins is fully up and running" in the log output.
|
|
4. Open a browser of your choice and navigate to `localhost:<port>`. The default is `localhost:8080`.
|
|
5. In the screen named "Unlock Jenkins", enter the password from the console output. Press the "Continue" button.
|
|
6. In the screen named "Customize Jenkins", select the option "Install suggested plugins".
|
|
7. In the screen named "Create First Admin User", enter all fields with credentials for your Jenkins administrator. Press the "Save and Continue" button.
|
|
8. In the screen named "Instance Configuration", keep the default value. Press the "Save and Finish" button.
|
|
9. You should see the message "Jenkins is ready!". Press the "Start using Jenkins" button. You'll be redirected to the Jenkins dashboard. |
