Issue
I don’t want to install the latest version. How do I install a particular version of CloudBees Jenkins Platform using YUM?
Environment
Resolution
As the Jenkins YUM package doesn’t require any package dependencies, the easiest solution would be to download the RPM onto the server and install it manually.
You can find all the RPM’s at:
The command is rpm -ivh /path/to/rpm. Where /path/to/rpm is replaced with the actual location of the downloaded RPM.
Install
CentOS 7 / RHEL 7:
For example, to manually install 2.164.3.2:
(run as root or use sudo)
yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk # can be omitted if Java 8 is already installed
wget -c https://downloads.cloudbees.com/cje/rolling/rpm/RPMS/noarch/jenkins-2.164.3.2-1.1.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh jenkins-2.164.3.2-1.1.noarch.rpm
systemctl enable jenkins
systemctl start jenkins
To manually install CJOC 2.150.2.3:
# (run as root or use sudo)
yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk # can be omitted if Java 8 is already installed
wget -c https://downloads.cloudbees.com/cjoc/rolling/rpm/RPMS/noarch/jenkins-oc-2.150.2.3-1.1.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh jenkins-oc-2.150.2.3-1.1.noarch.rpm
systemctl enable jenkins-oc
systemctl start jenkins-oc
CentOS 6 / RHEL 6:
For example, to manually install 2.164.3.2:
(run as root or use sudo)
yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk # can be omitted if Java 8 is already installed
wget -c https://downloads.cloudbees.com/cje/rolling/rpm/RPMS/noarch/jenkins-2.164.3.2-1.1.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh jenkins-2.164.3.2-1.1.noarch.rpm
/sbin/chkconfig --add jenkins
service jenkins start
To manually install CJOC 2.150.2.3:
# (run as root or use sudo)
yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk # can be omitted if Java 8 is already installed
wget -c https://downloads.cloudbees.com/cjoc/rolling/rpm/RPMS/noarch/jenkins-oc-2.150.2.3-1.1.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh jenkins-oc-2.150.2.3-1.1.noarch.rpm
/sbin/chkconfig --add jenkins-oc
service jenkins-oc start
Upgrade
In the case where CloudBees Jenkins Platform is already installed via YUM, and you would like to upgrade to a specific version, then just replace rpm -ivh with rpm -Uvh.
You can also refer to https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1189 if you need help installing or upgrading the RPM.
