Ist I know I have java on my Windows 11 laptop:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22000.493]  
(c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\baker\>-java  
‘-java’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,  
operable program or batch file.

C:\Users\baker\>java -version  
java version “11.0.1” 2018-10-16 LTS  
Java™ SE Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.1+13-LTS)  
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.1+13-LTS, mixed mode)

2nd , I went to [https://www.jenkins.io/download/Stable](https://www.jenkins.io/download/Stable) (LTS) and selected : \*\*Download Jenkins 2.319.3 LTS

Do I select the Windows option under \*Download Jenkins 2.319.3 LTS  
(which is a Windows Installer) and place it in Desktop directory,

At this point do I just click on the Windows Installer to install Jenkins

Thanks

Please install a newer version of Java 11. The most recent Java 11 version is 11.0.14. You can download it from [Eclipse Adoptium](https://adoptium.net/?variant=openjdk11&jvmVariant=hotspot) or one of the other providers.

Yes, that’s the preferred method to install Jenkins on Windows. See the online instructions at
