You need your own JRE 11+ for Zip distro. Check our Linux FAQ in case you run into troubles. I keep getting an annoying intermittent Publisher problem whilst trying to follow the Kafka Quickstart - Kafka 1.0.0. Zookeeper starts fine - binding to port 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:2181. Kafka broker starts fine - Awaiting socket connections on 0.0.0.0:9092. Successfully create topic test. The interesting bits of config inserver.properties.
You have always wanted to use JMeter, on your Mac, but you don’t know how to get started. You might have downloaded JMeter so far, so now how do you get that software installed, up and running? Running a Java program on a Mac isn’t obvious so we are going to explain how to install and run JMeter within minutes using a few command lines.
The great thing is JMeter is a Java program. Java programs are designed to be portable to Windows, Linux and MacOS.
Install HomeBrew
First, we are going to install HomeBrew:
Why not Kafka 0.11 or 1.0. Homebrew kafka version using 0.11 and could not launch on my computer, and it is hard to know detail why homebrew/kafka failed. Transactional Coordinator still not support by sarama golang client; Install Kafka 0.8 manually in 2017/11.
Homebrew is a package manager for MacOS. It enables the user to install / update / remove applications at ease with a nice command line interface.
HomeBrew requires the following configuration:
- An Intel CPU,
- OS X 10.10 or higher,
- Command Line Tools (CLT) for Xcode:
xcode-select --install
, developer.apple.com/downloads or Xcode, - A Bourne-compatible shell for installation (e.g. bash or zsh).
To install HomeBrew:
It should take only a couple of minutes. Before installing JMeter, let’s now update HomeBrew package definitions:
Make sure to update brew before installing JMeter, otherwise you may run into issues like this one:
This issue happens often when a new JMeter version is available, but your local HomeBrew package definition still points to the old version.
Install JMeter
It’s almost finished now, run:
If you wish to install jmeter-plugins along with JMeter, add the
--with-plugins
flag. After a couple of minutes, JMeter should be installed and ready to use.Update JMeter
Willing to upgrade to JMeter’s latest version? Simply run in a terminal:
Launch JMeter
JMeter should be now available as a command-line, try
jmeter -?
and you should see something like:To Launch JMeter, simply run:
Configure JMeter
JMeter’s configuration files are located in the following directories:
Item | Standard |
---|---|
Plugins folder | JMETER_HOME/lib/ext/ |
Library folder for plugin dependencies | |
Configuration folder | JMETER_HOME/bin/ |
Item | Homebrew |
---|---|
Plugins folder | CELLAR_HOME/jmeter/3.1/libexec/lib/ext |
Library folder for plugin dependencies | CELLAR_HOME/jmeter/3.1/libexec/lib/ |
Configuration folder | CELLAR_HOME/jmeter/3.1/libexec/bin/ |
With the following constants:
- JMETER_HOME: JMeter’s home, usually like
/home/ubuntu/jmeter-3.x
- CELLAR_HOME: should be
/usr/local/Cellar
.
Enjoy using JMeter on your favorite Mac!
November 28th, 2017 Why not Kafka 0.11 or 1.0
