How do I install jmeter on a Mac?

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?

Solution

  • 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

    If it crashes while opening, use the following command. don't forget to replace your current version.

    /usr/local/Cellar/jmeter/5.6.2/libexec/bin/jmeter

    if you have newer macbook try this:

    open /opt/homebrew/bin/jmeter
