Answer 1

Looking into jmeter package details you won't be able to get latest JMeter via apt.

Follow the next simple installation steps:

1. sudo apt-get update - to refresh packages metadata
2. sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre-headless - Java 7 is pre-requisite for JMeter 3.0
3. wget -c http://ftp.ps.pl/pub/apache//jmeter/binaries/apache-jmeter-3.0.tgz - download JMeter 3.0
4. tar -xf apache-jmeter-3.0.tgz - unpack JMeter
5. apache-jmeter-3.0/bin/./jmeter -n -t apache-jmeter-3.0/extras/Test.jmx - run a sample test

If anything goes wrong check java -version command output, it should print something like:

ubuntu@ip-172-31-57-21:~$ java -version

java version "1.7.0_101"

OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.6.6) (7u101-2.6.6-0ubuntu0.14.04.1)

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.95-b01, mixed mode)

Make sure you have 1.7 or higher.
