In the last tutorial we learned about Jenkins and got familiar with the concept of Jenkins. Summarizing it in a line Jenkins is an automation server and uses continuous integration and continuous delivery as the pillars.Now not giving too much time on the concept, in this tutorial we will try to Install Jenkins on our system and run it. So let’s get started. In this tutorial, we will see how to install Jenkins on Mac OS X. Step 1:Open browser and enter URL Step 2:Scroll down the page until you see the Mac OS X section then click on it.This will start the download for a Mac installation package. Once the download is complete, click on the package to start the installation. I have a machine with Ubuntu 12.04 and have installed Jenkins ver. 1.424.6 using apt-get based on this guide, but there is a new version: New version of Jenkins (1.447.2) is available for download (. Homebrew Installer Jenkins can be installed using the Homebrew package manager. Homebrew formula: jenkins-lts This is a package supported by a third party which may be not as frequently updated as packages supported by the Jenkins project directly. Sample commands: Install the latest LTS version: brew install jenkins-lts Install a specific LTS version: brew install jenkins-lts@YOURVERSION.
I have instructed you how to install Jenkins in Linux and using Docker. There is another way that we can install Jenkins that is using the war file. How is it in details? Let’s find out in this tutorial.
There are two things that we need to prepare to install Jenkins using the war file:
- One is Java Server Runtime such as Apache Tomcat, Jetty, …
- And of course, it’s Jenkins’s war file.
About Java Server Runtime, you can choose the server you like. In this tutorial, I will use Apache Tomcat. If you are like me then you can use the new version of Apache Tomcat at here.
To download Jenkins war, please go to https://jenkins.io/download/. We have two versions of Jenkins that are Long-term Support (LTS) and Weekly. Long-term support (LTS) is a more stable version, and the Weekly version is usually an updated version of the patches. You can choose any version. Here I will use the Long-term Support (LTS) version by clicking on the Generic Java package (.war) in the site to download.
OK, everything is ready. Now install it!
How To Download Jenkins
First, unpack the Apache Tomcat installation file.

Myself is as follows:
Then copy Jenkins’s jenkins.war to Apache Tomcat’s webapps directory.
Then, launch Apache Tomcat.
To do this, open Terminal on macOS, Linux or command line on Windows and go to the Apache Tomcat bin directory. Then execute the following statement:
on macOS or Linux.
On Windows is:
Finally, after Apache Tomcat has started, you can access Jenkins using the following path: http://localhost:8080/jenkins/ to configure it.
Like installing Jenkins using Docker or installing Jenkins on Ubuntu, the first window, we need to enter the default password:
This password is located in the file as this window show you all. Myself is /Users/Khanh/.jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword.
After entering your password, click Continue to continue.
You can choose either Install suggested plugins to install the plugins that Jenkins recommends or choose Select plugins to install to choose which plugins to install, depending on your choice.
Here, I will select “Select plugins to install”:
then choose None because I don’t want to install any plugin.
Click the Install button to continue.
This window allows us to create Admin account, please fill in the information you want and then click Save and Continue to 001dcontinue the installation.
In the above window, Jenkins allows us to customize the URL to access it. You can adjust this URL if you want, depending on your needs! You can leave it for later.
You click Save and Finish to complete the installation.
Click the “Start using Jenkins” button, you will see the following result:
