Installing JMeter on CentOs(Will work on most Linux versions)

Hello guys.

Today I'm going to describe how you can successfully install Apache JMeter on your Linux system.

Before install make sure you have installed Java 1.5 or newer version in your System.

Then you will need to download Apache JMeter.
http://jmeter.apache.org/download_jmeter.cgi

Download the zip file of the jmeter. (In my case I will be downloading apache-jmeter-2.7.zip)

Now open the terminal and follow given instructions.

type 'su' (without quoats. This will change your user mood into root)
Provide the root password.

Ok now you are the man..
Can you remember where you saved apache-jmeter-2.7.zip
 If you don't make sure to check where you saved that file.

now type following code

cd /var/www/html

Now you have to copy apache-jmeter-2.7.zip to this directory.For that you need to know where you saved the zip file.

cp PATHOFZIPFILE ./
(in my case I did like

cp /home/djclans/Downloads/apache-jmeter-2.7.zip ./

Note :In terminal, codes are case sensitive. And there is a space between .....jmeter-2.7.zip and ./)

Next you have to unzip the archive. In order to do that you need unzip installed in your system. If you don't just type yum install unzip and it will be installed.

To unzip the archive,

unzip apache-jmeter-2.7.zip

After completing the unzip process go inside that folder and you will find bin
folder. Go inside that too.

cd apache-jmeter-2.7/bin

Now everything is ready........

Ok now lets fire it up...

sh jmeter

few seconds later GUI will pop up.

And now we are done..

See you later guys.....
