Step 1
Download Tomcat
Step 2
Unzip and place tomcat folder at any location
Step 3
Copy/Place the jenkins.war file inside tomcat/webapps folder
Step 4
Goto commandpromt (cmd) – windows | terminal – mac
– goto tomcat/bin directory
– make all files executable : chmod +x *.sh
In case of windows this command will not work. This step might not be needed if you are on windows. Else you can right click on the file/folder goto security tab and change the permissions.
