Platforms:
Ubuntu 20.04
AWS ec2 Instance/DigitalOcean Droplet
Solution:
When I attempted to install Jenkins in an AWS EC2 instance, I had the identical problem (Ubuntu 20.04). I found the methods below helpful.
1. Update Ubuntu packages and all installed applications
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
2. Next, Install JDK
sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk -y
3. Verify Java version
java -version
4. Add gpg key for jenkins installation
wget -q -O - https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable/jenkins.io.key | apt-key add -
5. Add the repository address to our /etc/apt/sources.list.d file
sudo sh -c 'echo deb https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/ > \
e> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list'
6. Update our package list again
sudo apt-get update -y
7. Install Jenkins
sudo apt-get install jenkins -y
Done! Now it will start working.
Thanks!
