How to Use Jenkins: A Step-by-Step Guide
Hey there! Ready to dive into Jenkins? Whether you're new to
CI/CD or just need a refresher, this guide will help you get started
with Jenkins. Let's go!
Introduction to Jenkins
What is Jenkins?
• Jenkins is an open-source automation server.
• It helps automate the parts of software development related to
building, testing, and deploying, facilitating continuous
integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD).
• Jenkins is an open-source automation for CI-CD
• Jenkins tools developed using java
• Jenkins is part of Hudson Project
Initially it is called as Hudson then later it renamed to Jenkins
About CI CD
• CI and CD are two most frequently used terms in modern
development practices and DevOps practices
• CI stands for continuous Integration. It is fundamental DevOps
best practices where developers frequently merge code
changes to central repository where automated builds and
tests runs.
• CD means Continuous Delivery or Continuous Deployment.

Introduction to Jenkins: What You Need
to Know
Jenkins is a self-contained, open-source automation server which can
be used to automate all sorts of tasks related to building, testing, and
deploying software.
Build and deployment Process
1. Take latest source code from Repository
2. Compile source code
3. Execute Unit tests (Junit)
4. Perform code Review
5. Package code as a war file
6. Deploy the war file into server
Note: All the above builds and deployment tasks can be automated
using Jenkins tool.
Key Features of Jenkins
• Extensible: Supports a wide range of plugins for integration
with various tools and services.
• Distributed Builds: Can distribute builds and tests across
multiple machines for faster execution.
• User-Friendly: Provides a simple and intuitive web-based
interface.
• Scalable: Easily scales up for large projects and teams.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install Jenkins
Start and Enable Jenkins Service
$sudo systemctl start Jenkins
$sudo systemctl enable jenkins
$sudo systemctl status jenkins
Get the initial administration password
$sudo cat /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword

step 3
Open your EC2 instance public IP (https://<public_IP>:8080/) along
with port 8080 in your favorite browser. And provide the
administration password obtained during the installation.
Note: Make sure you enable 8080 port in Security Group Inbound
Rules.
Provided password which we have copied to unlock Jenkins.
Select "Install Suggested Plugins" Card (It will install those plugins)
Creating Your First Job
1. New Item:
o Click on New Item in the Jenkins dashboard.
2. Name Your Job:
o Enter a name for your job and select Freestyle project.
3. Configure Your Job:
o Source Code Management: Link your job to a version
control system like Git.
o Build Triggers: Set when the job should run (e.g., after a
commit). Give Build Tigger Periodically
*****
o Build: Define the build steps, such as compiling code or
running tests.

1. Save and Build:
o Save your job and click Build Now to run it.
Note: 5 * stars represent every minute Jenkins Job Should Execute
Configure Below Script as a Build Script
echo "Hello Guys, Divya Here"
touch divya.txt
echo "Hello Guys, Welcome to learnwithdivya.online" >> divya.txt
echo "Done ..!!"
Tips and Best Practices
• Backup Regularly: Ensure you have backups of your Jenkins
configuration and jobs.
• Use Pipelines: Pipelines provide a powerful way to define your
build process as code.
• Keep Jenkins Updated: Regular updates bring new features and
security improvements.
Conclusion
Jenkins is a powerful tool that can supercharge your development workflow. By
automating builds, tests, and deployments, it frees up your time and helps you focus
on what really matters – writing awesome code!
Happy building with Jenkins!
