This installation of Jenkins uses port 8090 by default.

The last comment shows the Jenkin uses 8090 as its default port (port will not be same for any machine).Simply open the browser and type http://localhost:8090. We find a message saying webpage is not available.

At this stage look for the path where Jenkins is download. Just type command to search

$ whereis jenkins

In my case it was downloaded at /var/lib/jenkins.

We can now confirm that the Jenkin is successfully installed in our system.

To start the Jenkins, either navigate to the Jenkin's path or root path and type

# systemctl start jenkins

Refreshing the web page (http://localhost:8090) will open Jenkins homepage.

Hurray, Jenkins is at our service.. !!!
