In case you want to easily start Apache JMeter<\/strong> load testing tool on your MAC OS<\/strong>, here some things which you help you get started.<\/p>\n

Once you downloaded Apache JMeter, just go to the PATH<\/strong> where you’ve dowloaded it. For example, I’ve downloaded JMeter in my Downloads folder. Here are\u00a0full details on how to run your first load test with JMeter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Steps to Add JMeter to the PATH environment variable:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. Open Command-Line<\/strong> (Terminal)<\/li>\n
    2. Type jmeter<\/strong> and press Enter<\/strong><\/li>\n
    3. If JMeter<\/strong> is not in the PATH<\/strong> variable<\/strong>, you’ll get the following:\n
      \n-bash: jmeter: command not found\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n           \r\n            
      \r\n                
      \n
        \n
      1. \n
          \n
        1. In terminal, go to the bin<\/strong> folder, where you’ve downloaded JMeter<\/li>\n
        2. Press pwd<\/strong> command to get the current working directory<\/li>\n
        3. Update the PATH variable<\/strong> with the following command:\n
          \nexport PATH=$PATH:\/Users\/user\/Downloads\/apache-jmeter-2.13\/bin<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          li>Now type jmeter<\/strong> in the terminal and Apache JMeter will start<\/p>\n
          This is what you should see in your terminal:<\/p>\n
          \ncomputer:bin user$ jmeter\n-bash: jmeter: command not found\ncomputer:bin user$ pwd\n\/Users\/user\/Downloads\/apache-jmeter-2.13\/bin\ncomputer:bin user$ export PATH=$PATH:\/Users\/user\/Downloads\/apache-jmeter-2.13\/bin\ncomputer:bin user$ jmeter\norg.apache.jmeter.testelement.TestPlan\norg.apache.jmeter.control.gui.TestPlanGui\n<\/code><\/p>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n         \r\n\r\n        <\/pre>\n
