How do I install jmeter on a Mac?

Question

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

Answer 1

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
