I have installed Jenkins on my Red Hat server following this tutorial. But by mistake I skipped the default plugins part.
I tried deleting /var/lib/jenkins/config.xml but this file getting created again and again.
- How can I get back to the initial setting where I can do it correctly this time?
- Or is there a way I can go to default plugin installation without doing much changes?
I tried googling but all the documents that match are for resetting admin passwords.
NOTE: I do know that I can go to plugin management and install the
plugins I want. However, I'm currently ended up with a blank slate and
I'm not sure which are all the plugins I should install.

An earlier answer mentioned a .jenkins file or folder. At least on my jenkins instance on CentOS no such file exists.

/var/lib/jenkins/config.xmland change the following line to:<installStateName>NEW</installStateName>then service jenkins restart
