Step 1 - Install Rake plugin

Once you have Jenkins running, visit http://192.168.33.10:8080/pluginManager/ and install the Rake plugin.

Step 2 - Create a new Job

Add a rake task within /home/vagrant/Rakefile.

   puts 'Hello for Rake!'
end

Step 4 - Invoke a Rake Task

Scroll down to the Build section and select Invoke Rake.

Tell Jenkins where the Rakefile is located and what task to run.

Step 5 - Manually Run the Task
