How to Install Jenkins on Windows 10
I am currently trying to learn Jenkins, I’m currently using Windows 10 home. The installation process didn’t go as smooth as with ubuntu; so I decided to write this blog post to help others.
Requirements:
- Windows 10
- JRE
Windows Setup
When attempting to install windows, it will complain about your user account even if your password is correct.
To fix this, you will need to access “Local Security Policy”, but surprise! Its nowhere to be found.
To address that, download the package from the link below, unzip it and run it as admin.
This will install what we need.
Done that, restart and follow the steps below (Thanks stack overflow!)
- Logon to the computer with administrative privileges.
- Open the ‘Administrative Tools’ and open the ‘Local Security Policy’
- Expand ‘Local Policy’ and click on ‘User Rights Assignment’
- In the right pane, right-click ‘Log on as a service’ and select properties.
- Click on the ‘Add User or Group…’ button to add the new user.
- In the ‘Select Users or Groups’ dialogue, find the user you wish to enter and click ‘OK’
- Click ‘OK’ in the ‘Log on as a service Properties’ to save changes.
Installing JRE
You need an oracle account, if you previously had one from certifications, try first logging into certviews, then come back here. (I hard a hard time logging in).
Go to localhost:8080
Since I’m new to Jenkins, I chose the first option.
And that’s all folks!
