To clarify, are you referring to a host firewall (e.g. single Linux system with restrictive iptables) that doesn't allow incoming connections, or a network firewall/proxy/NAT?
If the latter, some Jenkins features (anonymous usage reports, automatic tool installers, update center, possibly some plugins) require outgoing connections, but Jenkins is perfectly capable of running in a closed-off network. --- Platform-independent instructions on how to perform a basic installation of Jenkins are available on the "Meet Jenkins" introductory wiki page: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Meet+Jenkins More detailed instructions are linked from the main "Use Jenkins" wiki page: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Installing+Jenkins It's actually pretty difficult to *not* find these pages!
