Extract the contents of the downloaded file to a directory on your computer where you want to install JMeter. For example, you can extract the contents to the directory
/opt/jmeteron Linux orC:\Program Files\Apache JMeteron Windows.Set the
JMETER_HOMEenvironment variable to point to the directory where you installed JMeter. For example, on Linux, you can add the following line to your.bashrcfile:
export JMETER_HOME=/opt/jmeter
On Windows, you can set the environment variable in the System Properties dialog.
- Add the
bindirectory of the JMeter installation to yourPATHenvironment variable. This is not required, but it will make it easier to run JMeter from the command line. For example, on Linux, you can add the following line to your.bashrcfile:
export PATH=$PATH:$JMETER_HOME/bin
On Windows, you can add the bin directory to the PATH variable in the System Properties dialog.
That's it! You should now be able to run JMeter by opening a terminal or command prompt and typing jmeter. JMeter will start up and you can begin creating and running load tests.
Note that JMeter requires Java to be installed on your computer. Make sure that you have Java installed and that the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to the directory where Java is installed.
