Install Jenkins in the learning activity environment via the YUM package manager. You must first configure the Jenkins YUM repositories in order to do this. You can install Jenkins like so:
sudo yum install -y epel-release java-11-openjdk sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/redhat-stable/jenkins.repo sudo rpm --import https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable/jenkins.io.key sudo yum -y install jenkins- Complete Jenkins setup in the browser
After installing and starting Jenkins, there is some setup that needs to be completed through the Jenkins web interface. You can access Jenkins at [Jenkins Server Public IP]:8080.
