Jenkins is a free and open-source automation server. It helps automate the parts of software development related to building, testing, and deploying, facilitating continuous integration and continuous delivery.
Step 1: Launching an Amazon Linux EC2 instance
[Refer video “How to launch an Amazon Linux ec2 Instance”]
Step 2: Installation of Jenkins on EC2 Instance
i. Run the command to update all the packages.
sudo yum update
ii. Check if java is installed or not using the command
java -version
If java is not installed, install using the following command
sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk
iii. Now, to download the latest Jenkins package
sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat/jenkins.repo
**iv. **To enable the installation of the package, import the key file from Jenkins-CI:
sudo rpm --import https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable/jenkins.io.key
v. Install Jenkins on the EC2 instance
sudo yum install jenkins
vi. To start the Jenkins service
sudo service jenkins start
vii. Access the Jenkins server using the public DNS of the EC2 instance or public IP of the instance on port 8080.
http://{ec2-public-dns}:8080 or http://3.89.79.74:8080/
viii. Login using the username admin and to get the initial admin password execute the following command:
sudo su -
cd /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/
cat initialAdminPassword
ix. To stop Jenkins service
sudo service jenkins stop

The above steps are not working. At the end of the installation, I am unable to start the jenkins service on the EC2 (amazon linux) server. See the errors below:
If anyone already faced and resolved the issue, then pls share. Thanks in advance.
