Any of the below solutions can be used.

• Permanently Remove noexec from /tmp mount

# 1. Edit /etc/fstab

vi /etc/fstab
# 2. Restart
shutdown -r now
# 3. Confirm /tmp now allows executing
# /tmp should not include noexec
mount -l

service jenkins start

• Change java.io.tmpdir

vi /etc/sysconfig/jenkins
# 2. Create tmp directory
mkdir $JENKINS_HOME/tmp
# 3. Make sure Jenkins is the owner
chown MY_JENKINS_USER:MY_JENKINS_GROUP $JENKINS_HOME/tmp
