Running Apache JMeter

Using system wrappers

Apache JMeter comes with startup scripts to help you run the application. They are located in the directory /bin and are called jmeter for UNIX systems and jmeter.bat for Windows systems. Make sure the file ApacheJMeter.jar is located in the same directory and type jmeter to start.

Since those scripts assumes you have your classpath already setup and the java interpreter in your path. It this is not the case, setup you Java environment first and edit the script to match your system.

From the command line

If you don't like script you can use the command line as follows

UNIX: <java interpreterer> <options> -classpath $CLASSPATH:ApacheJMeter.jar org.apache.jmeter.JMeter
Windows: <java interpreter> <options> -classapth %classpath%;ApacheJMeter.jar org.apache.jmeter.JMeter

where options are usually not needed.

In case you use the Java 2 platform you can type

java -jar ApacheJMeter.jar

or double click on the file.
