Install Jenkins lab

One of the questions is to install Jenkins.
I copied exactly what is in the official docs but Jenkins cannot start, it fails.
I do not want to troubleshoot why the service is failing, if I am on this course just to learn how to create pipelines in Jenkins.

Service troubleshoot can be put at the end of the course, this is frustrating.

Hi @Mundofik

Did you confirm if the required Java version was installed as a dependency?

Try following this link and see it works.

Hi @Mundofik

Please ensure that Java is installed before installing Jenkins. You can check if Java is installed by running: java -version.
