Issue with Jenkins installation in aws ec2 linux

Hi,

I am unable to install jenkins in aws linux ec2.

Hey @teja_2022

I am not an expert here. But I see one obvious thing:

  • Minimum JDK version for Jenkins should be Java 11 or 17 assuming you are using the latest version. Refer this doc: Java requirements.

Also if you run systemctl status jenkins and paste the logs here (as stated in your screenshot), it would be easier for community to help you.

If you are installing lastest jenkins you absolutely need java 11

You can install older versions (not recommended) or use java 11

Just a reminder 3rd party tutorials so get out of date and not updated. Feel free to let them know
