You have always wanted to use JMeter, on your Mac, but you don’t know how to get started. You might have downloaded JMeter so far, so now how do you get that software installed, up and running? Running a Java program on a Mac isn’t obvious so we are going to explain how to install and run JMeter within minutes using a few command lines.
Today I’d like to announce Homebrew 2.0.0. The most significant changes since 1.9.0 are official support for Linux and Windows 10 (with Windows Subsystem for Linux), brew cleanup running automatically, no more options in Homebrew/homebrew-core, and removal of support for OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) and older.
- None - Build Inkscape on your Mac with Homebrew. There is also a Homebrew formula available for Inkscape 0.92.1. This formula has been posted to the Inkscape user mailing list by its author, Tim Sheridan.
- Homebrew is a package managing tool. It’s more popular on Linux but is also used extensively on macOS. In fact, for apps that install as packages, Homebrew is the easiest way to remove them.
- How to Install Homebrew on Mac OS X (10.7 or later) This one’s super-quick and easy! If you want to easily install other tools and add-ons in the future, you need Homebrew. Open a new shell and run the following.
The great thing is JMeter is a Java program. Java programs are designed to be portable to Windows, Linux and MacOS.
Download Homebrew For Mac Osx
Install HomeBrew
First, we are going to install HomeBrew:
Homebrew is a package manager for MacOS. It enables the user to install / update / remove applications at ease with a nice command line interface.
HomeBrew requires the following configuration:
- An Intel CPU,
- OS X 10.10 or higher,
- Command Line Tools (CLT) for Xcode:
xcode-select --install
, developer.apple.com/downloads or Xcode, - A Bourne-compatible shell for installation (e.g. bash or zsh).
To install HomeBrew:
It should take only a couple of minutes. Before installing JMeter, let’s now update HomeBrew package definitions:
Make sure to update brew before installing JMeter, otherwise you may run into issues like this one:
This issue happens often when a new JMeter version is available, but your local HomeBrew package definition still points to the old version.
Install JMeter
It’s almost finished now, run:
If you wish to install jmeter-plugins along with JMeter, add the --with-plugins
flag. After a couple of minutes, JMeter should be installed and ready to use.
Update JMeter
Willing to upgrade to JMeter’s latest version? Simply run in a terminal:
Launch JMeter
JMeter should be now available as a command-line, try jmeter -?
and you should see something like:
To Launch JMeter, simply run:
Configure JMeter
JMeter’s configuration files are located in the following directories:
Item | Standard |
---|---|
Plugins folder | JMETER_HOME/lib/ext/ |
Library folder for plugin dependencies | |
Configuration folder | JMETER_HOME/bin/ |

With the following constants:
- JMETER_HOME: JMeter’s home, usually like
/home/ubuntu/jmeter-3.x

.
