Getting started with the Guided Tour
This guided tour introduces you to the basics of using Jenkins and its main feature, Jenkins Pipeline. This tour uses the “standalone” Jenkins distribution, which runs locally on your own machine.
Prerequisites
For this tour, you will require:
- A machine with:
_ 256 MB of RAM, although more than 512MB is recommended
_ 10 GB of drive space (for Jenkins and your Docker image) - The following software installed:
_ Java 8 (either a JRE or Java Development Kit (JDK) is fine)
_ Docker (navigate to Get Docker at the top of the website to access the Docker download that’s suitable for your platform)
