1.2 Installation of Jenkins

Install Jenkins from the War File

Below are steps to install jenkins from the WAR file.

Download the latest Jenkins war file here.
The easiest way to execute Jenkins is through the built in Jetty servlet container. You can execute Jenkins like this:

$ java -jar jenkins.war

Of course, you probably want to send the output of Jenkins to a log file, and if you're on Unix, you probably want to use nohup:

$ nohup java -jar jenkins.war > $LOGFILE 2>&1

To see Jenkins, simply bring up a web browser and go to URL http://myServer:8080 where myServer is the name of the system running Jenkins.
