Why does installing JMeter with Homebrew gives invalid option: –with-plugins?

Before Homebrew 2.0 it was possible to install JMeter with all the extra plugins by using the following command:

brew install jmeter --with-plugins

Since Homebrew 2.0 the options have been removed so the command from above will show ‘Error: invalid option: –with-plugins‘.

How to fix

• Install JMeter with: brew install jmeter
• Install the extra plugins by using the Plugins Manager as detailed in the post: “How to install extra plugins in JMeter using Plugins Manager”
