Unable to find plugins in list of available plugins in jenkins

Question

I have installed Jenkins by deploying its WAR file to Tomcat. On typing

http://localhost:8080/jenkins

In browser

Answer 1

My Environment

• Windows 7 Enterprise
• Jenkins 2.89.2
• Direct access to Internet

I tried most of the suggestions provided here but nothing worked until I tried following

First: I needed to run as 'Administrator'

Second: It was using default user home dir at C:\users\yourusername\.jenkins.

What Worked:

I changed default dir above to a different folder by defining JENKINS_HOME environment variable and I was able to get new plugins.
