See this page for steps on how to install Jenkins on Ubuntu:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Installing+Jenkins+on+Ubuntu

Add the jenkins package:
$ wget -q -O - https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian/jenkins-ci.org.key | sudo apt-key add - $ sudo sh -c 'echo deb http://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/ > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list' $ sudo apt update
Create the user "jenkins":
Note that you can choose not to create this user manually, and Jenkins will create it if the installation completes without errors.
$ sudo useradd jenkins $ sudo passwd jenkins $ sudo mkdir /var/lib/jenkins $ sudo chmod -R 755 /var/lib/jenkins $ sudo chown -R jenkins:jenkins /var/lib/jenkins $ sudo usermod --home /var/lib/jenkins/ --shell /bin/bash jenkins
Install Jenkins:
$ sudo apt install jenkins
If the installation completes without errors, Jenkins will be started.
The user 'jenkins' will run Jenkins as daemon (see /etc/init.d/jenkins).

By default Jenkins will listen on port 8080: http://localhost:8080



You need to provide the administrator password to unlock Jenkins.
You can find the administrator password in this file: /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword
Copy/past the administrator password and click the "Continue" button.



The Getting Started page may ask you to customize Jenkins by installing plugins.
You can close this page if you want to skip this step or click the "Install suggested plugins" button:



When the plugins installation is completed you will be redirected to "Create First Admin User" page:



You can click the "Continue as admin" link to go the "Instance Configuration" page:



Click the "Save and Finish" button and Jenkins will be ready:



Click the "Start using Jenkins" button to go the Welcome page:

To change the "admin" user password, follow the following steps:

• Click the "Manage Jenkins" link.
  
• Click the "Manage Users" link.
  
• Click the "admin" user link.
  
• Click the "Configure" link.
  
• Modify the "admin" user password and Click the "Save" button.
  

Jenkins log files can be found in this folder: "/var/log/jenkins/"

By default Jenkins is configured to run as a service.
If needed you can use the "start" and "stop" commands to start and stop Jenkins.

Start Jenkins:
$ sudo service jenkins start
Stop Jenkins:
$ sudo service jenkins stop

You can disable the security if needed (for example you have forgotten your "admin" password!):

• Open the "/var/lib/jenkins/config.xml" file.
  
• Set the "useSecurity" element to "false".
  
• Remove or comment the "authorizationStrategy" and "securityRealm" elements (see bellow an example of the content of these 2 elements).
  
• Restart Jenkins.
  

$ su - jenkins
$ vi /var/lib/jenkins/config.xml
<useSecurity>false</useSecurity> <!-- <authorizationStrategy class="hudson.security.FullControlOnceLoggedInAuthorizationStrategy"> <denyAnonymousReadAccess>true</denyAnonymousReadAccess> </authorizationStrategy> <securityRealm class="hudson.security.HudsonPrivateSecurityRealm"> <disableSignup>true</disableSignup> <enableCaptcha>false</enableCaptcha> </securityRealm> -->
$ sudo service jenkins restart

Make sure you will be able to authenticate to Jenkins after enabling the security.
If you are using Jnekins' own user database, make sure you have created/configured a user.

• You can enable the security by adjusting Jnekins' "config.xml" file:
  
  • Open the "/var/lib/jenkins/config.xml" file.
    
  • Set the "useSecurity" element to "true".
    
  • Add the "authorizationStrategy" and "securityRealm" elements.
    
  • Restart Jenkins.
    
  
  $ su - jenkins
  $ vi /var/lib/jenkins/config.xml
  <useSecurity>true</useSecurity> <authorizationStrategy class="hudson.security.FullControlOnceLoggedInAuthorizationStrategy"> <denyAnonymousReadAccess>true</denyAnonymousReadAccess> </authorizationStrategy> <securityRealm class="hudson.security.HudsonPrivateSecurityRealm"> <disableSignup>true</disableSignup> <enableCaptcha>false</enableCaptcha> </securityRealm>
  $ sudo service jenkins restart
  
• You can also enable the security directly from Jenkins UI:
  
  • Click the "Manage Jenkins" link.
    
  • Click the "Configure Global Security" link.
    
  • Check the "Enable security" checkbox.
    
  • In "Security Realm" access control, check "Jenkins’ own user database" radio button.
    
  • In "Authorization" access control, check "Logged-in users can do anything" radio button.
    
  • In "Authorization" access control, un-check "Allow anonymous read access" checkbox.
    
  • Click the "Apply" and "Save".
    
  • Restart Jenkins.
