Jenkins Beginner Tutorial | How to Parameterize job in Jenkins
In this tutorial you will learn on how to achieve build with parameters in Jenkins job.
Lets get started!
First step is to download the Jenkins Generic Java Package (.war)
Navigate to downloaded path and execute the below command to start Jenkins.
java -jar jenkins.war — httpPort=9191
As I have defined the httpPort as 9191 so the Jenkins will start on port number 9191 else it will start on default port. During Jenkins initial setup password will be displayed and it is required during Jenkins installation.

Fill in the name, default value and description
