Hardware and Software Requirements

Since Jenkins Enterprise is based on Jenkins, it runs on all platforms that Jenkins runs on, currently meaning Java 6 or later (7 recommended). Only the Oracle JRE/JDK is currently supported. See Jenkins Enterprise Supported JDKs for more.

Jenkins Enterprise is available as a standalone war file or as platform specific packages. In addition to the multi-platform war, Jenkins Enterprise is supported on the following platforms:

  • Debian
  • Redhat
  • Ubuntu
  • CentOS
  • Fedora
  • Mac OS X
  • OpenSuse
  • Windows
  • Solaris Sparc

There are no universally applicable OS-level requirements for Jenkins Enterprise. Some customers find that they need to increase the per-process open files limit on Linux (ulimit -n); or increase the maximum size of the Java heap or permanent generation (refer to JVM tuning guides for specifics).
