But how do

Answer 1

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:

  1. Install Last compatible JDK version (7 or 8 as of JMeter 3.1).

  2. Download JMeter from here

  3. Unzip folder and run from the folder:

bin/jmeter
