Answer 1

After Installation of Jenkins 2.Y.Z, I would suggest you to simply restart your OS.

my OS is Windows 8.1, and as after I restarted Jenkins automatically builds it installation environment, and you can see many directories and files available or appeared which were not available instantly after installation.

Now, Open Jenkins Dashboard path in web browser hostname:portnumber

for beginners it is like localhost:8080

it will ask you the password.

So, open the file initialAdminPassword in text editor or viewer located in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\secrets\

copy the 32 chars length password, and paste it to the Jenkins Dashboard.

Later you can install the plugins default or in custom choose mode.

Hope this would help many one.
