How Do You Install an Older Version of Jenkins (e.g., 1.x) on Ubuntu Linux?

Problem scenario
Your enterprise's policies are to install a version of Jenkins that is lower than the latest.  How do you install Jenkins 1.651.1 on Ubuntu 16.04?

Solution
1.  Install Java.  See this posting if you do not know how.
2.  Run these three commands to install Jenkins 1.651.1 (but you can chance the version whichever one is available):

curl -L https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable/binary/jenkins_1.651.1_all.deb > /tmp/jenkins_1.651.1_all.deb
sudo apt-get -y install daemon
sudo dpkg -i /tmp/jenkins_1.651.1_all.deb
