How do I install jmeter on a Mac?
TestingJmeterPerformance TestingLoad TestingTesting Problem Overview
We want to use JMeter.
I've downloaded the production version as directed in the user manual at http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/get-started.html
But how do I get started and install the software?
I don't know java and I can't find any instructions on what I'm supposed to do with the download.
I am on a Mac.
How do I install the product as a usable program?

The easiest way to install it is using Homebrew:
brew install jmeter
Plugins are now included
And to open it, use the following command (since it doesn't appear in your Applications):
open /usr/local/bin/jmeter
Solution 2 - Testing
jmeter is now just installed with > brew install jmeter
This version includes the plugin manager that you can use to download the additional plugins.
OUTDATED:
If you want to include the plugins (JMeterPlugins Standard, Extras, ExtrasLibs, WebDriver and Hadoop) use:
> brew install jmeter --with-plugins

You have 2 options:
- Install using homebrew
brew update
to update homebrew packages
brew install jmeter
to install jmeter
Read this blog to know how to map folders from standard jmeter to homebrew installed version.
-
Install using standard version which I would advise you to do. Steps are:
bin/jmeter
Solution 7 - Testing
Download last version (not 2.5.1 or other old ones) from jmeter.apache.org
Unzip file
Ensure you install a version of JAVA which is compatible, Java 6 or 7 for JMeter 2.11
In bin folder click on jmeter.sh not on jar or execute sh ./apache-jmeter-x.x.x/bin/jmeter
in the terminal.
x.x.x is the version you use.
Finally, when started you may want to select System Look and feel for Mac OSX better integration. Menu > Options > Look and Feel > System

I am also new to this.
I have followed this process to start the application in Mac:
- I downloaded
apache-jmeter-3.3_src.zip
from http://jmeter.apache.org/download_jmeter.cgi website. - I extracted the files and then move to bin folder and then you
can find a file named
jmeter
, this is an executable file. Right click on this and open with terminal and wait for 5 minutes, that's it.
Thank you, I hope this might help.
