Jenkins fails when running “service start jenkins”

Question

I installed jenkins on Cnetos 7 using the following:

sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo http://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable/jenkins.repo
sudo rpm --impor         


        

Answer 1

Before you install Jenkins you should install JDK:

apt install openjdk-8-jre

After this install Jenkins:

apt-get install jenkins

And check Jenkins status (should be 'active'):

systemctl status jenkins.service
