Installing Jenkins The procedures on this page are for new installations of Jenkins on a single/local machine. Jenkins is typically run as a standalone application in its own process with the built-in Java servlet container/application server (Jetty). Jenkins can also be run as a servlet in different Java servlet containers such as Apache Tomcat or GlassFish. However, instructions for setting up these types of installations are beyond the scope of this page. Note:  Although this page focusses on local installations of Jenkins, this content can also be used to help set up Jenkins in production environments. 2
