How to Install Jenkins on Windows

20 thoughts on “How to Install Jenkins on Windows”

• The video was really helpful, thanks. In my case, I'm learning how to interact with Jenkins. If someone is lost like I was, I have Windows 11 Home, so I can't modify or access the local security policy (you must have Windows Pro or Enterprise in order to do what was shown in the video). Here's what I did:

  1) Downloaded JDK 11 and followed the exact steps as you said in the video, except for changing the installation path.
  
  2) Edited the environmental variables.
  
  3) Skipped the 'local security policy' step.
  
  4) Installed Jenkins again, not changing the installation path, I left it as it was by default. I chose the first option at 6:50 (Run Service as LocalSystem), clicked 'next.' Tested port 8080, clicked next. Unselected the option 'Start Service' by selecting 'Entire feature will be unavailable,' and then clicked next and Install.
  
  5) Then I went to C:Program FilesJenkins (because it's my default installation path) and modified the XML file, but only the 'Executables' part, just like in the video. I left the other part of the file intact.
  
  6) Searched for Services in the Windows search bar and started the Jenkins Service. Because I didn't change the path of any software (JDK and Jenkins), it started automatically.
  
  7) Opened my default browser and typed: localhost:8080, and it asked me for a password. All you have to do is go to that path (C:ProgramDataJenkins.jenkinssecrets/initialAdminPassword), open the file, copy the password, and paste it. Then click on 'Install Suggested Plugins.'
  
  8) Create a user and start using it.

  Hope someone finds this useful.

• Where did you get that password?

• The memory allocated to the JVM in the tutorial is far too high (3 GB to 3 GB), the service will not start for me until correct values are declared for the JVM memory (256 MB to 512 MB ). now JDK consumes around 282m and everything works fine. Alongside this is a great tutorial.

• Genio !!!

• As I'm following along, I was trying to use the same arguments that you are using in the video, but I'm not finding them anywhere. Can you please provide them? Thank you.
