How to Solve “Some plugins failed to install properly, you may retry installing…” in Jenkins?
Jenkins can be installed in many ways – but after installation, the way to set up Jenkins in all the systems is the same. The steps are as follows
- Step 1 – Open ‘localhost:8080’ in the browser if you haven’t changed the port of Jenkins.
- Step 2 – Unlock Jenkins using the Initial Admin password and provide your administrator account details.
- Step 3 – Install the recommended or required plugins.
While you have performed the installation process of Jenkins step by step perfectly, you meet an error – “Some plugins failed to install properly, you may retry installing them or continue without the failed plugins” in Step 3 of setting up Jenkins, which pops up when the suggested plugin’s installation in Jenkins is not able to complete its installation.
The error which follows while you get started with Jenkin upon failure of installation of plugins.
Solutions
Solution 1: Check your network connection and troubleshoot it.
Solution 2: Try clicking the Retry button at the bottom of the page. Sometimes installation of plugins works by retrying the installation several times.
