Question

Trying to install Jenkins but it is showing me this error.

Jenkins requires Java versions [8, 11] but you are running 
with Java 16 from C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-16.0.1

Please help!

Answer 1

1. Download java 11 from below link & install in your system. https://www.oracle.com/in/java/technologies/javase-jdk11-downloads.html
2. After installing you can find the folder in C:\Program Files\Java\

since I have already installed java 16, I don't want to change the default to 11.

Run Jenkins as mentioned below:

• open command prompt using run as administrator mode switch to >>> C:\Windows\system32> >> cd C:\Program Files\Jenkins

• Execute this command C:\Program Files\Jenkins>..\Java\jdk-11.0.12\bin\java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=8080

• Jenkin starting after executing above command

• Go to HTTP://localhost:8080

You can find admin password from C:\Users\myuser\\.jenkins\secrets\initialAdminPassword

• Go to HTTP://localhost:8080
