Question

I am trying to install Jenkins on my mac, and I have completed the following steps:

• Download the Jenkins war file for OS-X

• After cd, Ran this:

  java -jar jenkins.war

• getting this error in my terminal:

  Error: unable to access jarfile jenkins.war

Any idea what I am doing wrong ??? FYI, I was successful in windows by following these steps.

Answer 1

This is how the problem was resolved. If you have mac or windows independently,

• go to jenkins-ci.org
• Choose a long-term version of support that is a stable build.
• Click the .war link
• Then in Terminal cd to the path where you downloaded
• Run this command: java -jar jenkins.war

You will go well !!!

Answer 2

Try running: java -jar jenkins.war.jar. This helped me on Windows 10.
