Hey everyone! In this blog, I’ll guide you through the process of installing Jenkins on your Windows 11 operating system. Before we begin, it’s crucial to have Java JDK installed on your Windows machine. If you haven’t installed Java yet then download it. Now let’s dive into it.
Step 1: Downloading Jenkins

- On the Jenkins IO website, locate the download button and click on it. You’ll be directed to the Downloads page.
- Scroll down to find the LTS version for Windows. Click on the Windows option.

Step 2: Installing Jenkins
- Run the Jenkins MSI file. The setup wizard will appear.
- Click “Next” on the first window to accept the default installation location.
- Choose the option to run the service as a local system and click “Next.”

- Click “Install.” Confirm any system changes.
- Once installed, open the suggested URL (http://localhost:8080) in your browser.
Step 3: Unlocking Jenkins
