In this article, we will demonstrate how to install Jenkins quickly and efficiently. With just a few terminal commands and an open port, you’ll have Jenkins up and running in no time, making it easier than ever to kickstart your CI/CD journey.
This guide is specifically designed for Ubuntu 20.04. Although the demonstration uses a Ubuntu virtual machine in Azure, you can use AWS, GCP, or run a local virtual machine on your desktop—choose the environment that best fits your needs.

​
