Question

Hi Guys,

I have installed Jenkins in my Linux system. I am using Jenkins from Web-UI. But I want to use Jenkins from CLI. Can anyone tell me how can I do that?

Hi@akhtar,

You need to install Java in your Windows system first. After that login to Jenkins through Web-UI and follow the below-given steps.

•  In manage Jenkins, you will find Jenkins CLI. 

• Click on Jenkins CLI and you will get one link.

• Download the jenkins-cli.jar file in your Windows system and run the command.
