Install Specific Version of a Plugin with Install-Plugin Command

To install a specific version you can run the command and pass a parameter with a colon like this: install-plugins.sh git:3.9.1

or alternatively add the list of plugins to a file (plugins.txt for instance):

git:3.9.1
saml:1.0.7

and run it with the following command: install-plugins.sh plugins.txt

For versions of Jenkins 2.357 an up, install-plugins.sh has been removed. The command should now be this: /bin/jenkins-plugin-cli -f /usr/share/jenkins/ref/plugins.txt

You can download jar file from here:

$ rm -rf /usr/share/jenkins/plugins/ldap*

$ ls /usr/share/jenkins/plugins/ldap*
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/jenkins/plugins/ldap*': No such file or directory

$ echo $JAVA_OPTS
-Djenkins.install.runSetupWizard=false

$ java $JAVA_OPTS -jar /opt/jenkins-plugin-manager-2.12.8.jar --plugins ldap:2.7
Done

$ ls /usr/share/jenkins/plugins/ldap*
/usr/share/jenkins/plugins/ldap.jpi

$ echo ""


$ ls /usr/share/jenkins/plugins/ldap*
/usr/share/jenkins/plugins/ldap.jpi
