1. Install Jenkins:
The first step is to install Jenkins. You can download the Jenkins WAR file and run it as a standalone application on a server. Alternatively, you can install Jenkins using a package manager like apt-get or yum.
2. Configure Jenkins:
Once Jenkins is installed, you need to configure it. This includes setting up credentials for connecting to source control, configuring build jobs, setting up notifications, and configuring security.
3. Connect to Source Control:
The next step is to connect Jenkins to your source control system. This can be done using plugins or manually by setting up a webhook.
4. Create Build Jobs:
Once your source control is connected, you can create build jobs in Jenkins. These jobs can be configured to run on a schedule or triggered by a commit to the source control repository.
5. Set Up Notifications:
You can configure Jenkins to send notifications when builds fail or succeed. This can be done using email, Slack, or other notification systems.
6. Configure Security:
Finally, you need to configure security for Jenkins. This includes setting up user accounts, configuring access control, and setting up SSL certificates.
