Jenkins has no installation candidate : error while trying to install jenkins on ubuntu system

so im trying to install the jenkins on my ubuntu and ofc i made sure to update the system by running : apt update

then i tried to run the following commands from jenkins website to install jenkins :

"


curl -fsSL https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable/jenkins.io.key | sudo tee \

/usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc > /dev/null

echo deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc] \

https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/ | sudo tee \

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list > /dev/null

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install jenkins

then i got an error message that says :


Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

Package jenkins is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source

E: Package jenkins has no installation candidate

i barely understood, is that trying to recognize the repo which the files are downloading from?

i saw a youtube video of someone who had the same problem and he use the following commands:


wget -q -O - https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable/... | sudo apt-get key add

'sudo sh -c 'echo deb https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkind.list

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install jenkins

but it still doesnt work for me can you help me please get jenkins installed ?

Try this to install Jenkins on a Debian host, it should fix your problem:(you can hit all cmds in one short)

    sudo apt update
sudo apt install default-jdk
wget -q -O - https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable/jenkins.io.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo deb https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/ > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc \
  https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable/jenkins.io-2023.key
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc]" \
  https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/ | sudo tee \
  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jenkins

Please try this. It's from the official jenkins documentation. Later maybe if you find another error it could be because maybe your 8080 port is not free. In this case, you have to kill the process and run as root user.

wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc \ https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian/jenkins.io-2023.key

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc]" \ https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian binary/ | sudo tee \ 
  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list > /dev/null

apt-get update

apt-get install jenkins

You can refer to (weekly release): https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/linux/

Step 1: Add the Jenkins repository key

curl -fsSL https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian/jenkins.io-2023.key | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc > /dev/null

Step 2: Add the Jenkins repository

echo deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc] https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/ | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list > /dev/null

Step 3: Update and Install Jenkins

sudo apt update
sudo apt install jenkins -y

Don't worry, I have faced that issue (E: Package 'jenkins' has no installation candidate) on Ubuntu 20.

It is working now

● jenkins.service - Jenkins Continuous Integration Server Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/jenkins.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Sat 2024-02-10 05:47:08 UTC; 16s ago Main PID: 2289311 (java) Tasks: 50 (limit: 4686)

Just run the below commands:-

sudo apt dist-upgrade

wget -q -O - https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian/jenkins.io.key | sudo apt-key add -

sudo sh -c 'echo deb http://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/ > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list'

sudo apt update

sudo apt install jenkins

systemctl status jenkins

✅E: Package jenkins has no installation candidate 100% SOLVED💯

As from June 2022 & later, Jenkins installation process was updated with newer & safer keys, hence the error E: Package 'jenkins' has no installation candidate

So to resolve this and gracefully install jenkins, the CICD automation server, follow these 3 simple steps:

1. Update your local packages repository as sudo then add new keys (2023 Update) to the system.

$ sudo apt-get update

$ curl -fsSL https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian/jenkins.io-2023.key | sudo tee \ /usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc > /dev/null

2. Then add a Jenkins apt repository entry:

$ echo deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc] \ https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian binary/ | sudo tee \ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list > /dev/null

3. Update your local package index, install the JDK-17-JRE (2023 or newer) then finally install Jenkins:

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install fontconfig openjdk-17-jre

$ sudo apt-get install jenkins

To keep track of the ever-evolving DevSecOps world, kindly refer to the Official Jenkins installation guide.

  • Let us know how it goes for you.

  https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/ | sudo tee \

I too had this problem and the issue was because I was using Zsh and not Bash. Once I switched to Bash (by typing "bash") the commands on the Jenkins website to install on Linux (Ubuntu for me) actually worked.

  1. install ca-certificates.

    sudo apt install ca-certificates

  2. then install Jenkins from the official documentation

You can add [trusted=yes] in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list file.

Initially /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list will have,

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc] https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian binary/

Update it as,

deb [trusted=yes] https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian binary/

After that run the installation instructions.

Eg: for Debian releases

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fontconfig openjdk-11-jre
sudo apt-get install jenkins

switch to root user first. Command: sudo su -

Then you can run the commands you ran earlier to install Jenkins. It should work now.
