How to add Python Plugins in Jenkins

Hello Everyone,
This tutorial is based on the different plugins required to execute python programs on Jenkins.

Jenkins is an open-source automation tool written in Java with plugins built for Continuous Integration purposes. Jenkins is used to build and test your software projects continuously making it easier for developers to integrate changes to the project, and making it easier for users to obtain a fresh build.

To execute any Python Code on Jenkins, there are two essential plugins which must be installed. The two plugins are - Shining Panda plugin and Python plugin.
Following are the steps to install the plugins on Jenkins. (These steps are common for the installation of all the plugins).

Step 1) Select Manage Jenkins option from the dashboard.

Step 2) In Manage Jenkins, select Manage Plugins.

Step 3) Now click on the Available tab. In the search bar, enter Python. (If the plugins are already installed, click on updates tab to update the plugins to latest version.)

Step 4) Select Python and Shining Panda Plugins. Now click on Install without restart. The required plugins will be installed now. It may take some time to download and install.

Step 5) Once the installation is complete, navigate back to dashboard. Create a New Item. Now in the Add build step, Custom Python Builder and Execute Python Scripts option would be available.
