Answer 1

You should set JMETER_HOME to main JMeter directory as C:\apache-jmeter-4.0

Also don't set JMeter directory to JAVA_HOME variable (should hold Java installation path)

Answer 2

This might sound obvious, but I'm getting this error on machines that don't have Java installed. Of course, though a better message might have been nice!

Answer 3

You don't need to set JMETER_HOME path explicitly under user variables, just add/change under system variables under path variable as your bin path. If you already have earlier version of JMeter just append with latest version. Path looks like : C:\XXX\apache-jmeter-4.0\bin

Answer 4

Easiest way: just delete the JMETER_HOME environment variable, run jmeter.bat and variable will be added automatically.

Answer 5

• First ensure you've Java installed
• Second you need to ensure the working directory of your call is the JMeter installation directory.

Assumption your JMeter installation is located under:

C:\Program Files (x86)\apache-jmeter-4.0

then you need to set this as working directory.

As you can read in the jmeter.bat file itself:

JMETER_HOME - installation directory. Will be guessed from location of jmeter.bat

Answer 6

1. ensure java is installed and can check with java —version
2. assuming the path jmeter installed is C:\apache-jmeter-5.3
   1. add the user variable
      1. press new
      2. add Jmeter variable name as JMETER_HOME
      3. variable value as: C:\apache-jmeter-5.3
   2. add the path
      1. look for Path system variable and press edit
      2. edit it to have C:\apache-jmeter-5.3\bin
      3. it doesnt have Path(very unlikely), than press new and add variable name as path and value as C:\apache-jmeter-5.3\bin
   3. restart cmd and type jmeter should do the job.
