Installing Apache JMeter using Homebrew

Apache JMeter is a popular open-source tool for load testing and performance measurement of web applications. One of the ways to install JMeter on a Mac or Linux is by using the package manager Homebrew.

Before you can install JMeter, you need to have Homebrew installed on your system. If you do not have Homebrew installed, you can install it by following the instructions on the Homebrew website (https://brew.sh/).

Once you have Homebrew installed, you can use the following command to install the latest version of JMeter:



brew install jmeter


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This command will install JMeter and all its dependencies on your system.

Once the installation is complete, you can run JMeter by using the command:



jmeter


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You can also check the version of JMeter that is installed on your system by using the command:



jmeter -v


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

It should display the version of JMeter that is installed on your system.
