Installing JMeter plugins

Perform the following steps to install JMeter plugins on your system:

  1. Download the latest standard set of plugin from http://jmeter-plugins.org/. At the time of writing this book, it was version 1.1.3. Alternatively, you can download it directly from http://jmeter-plugins.org/downloads/file/JMeterPlugins-Standard-1.1.3.zip.
  2. Extract the contents of the ZIP archive into the JMETER_HOME directory.

One line install

Assuming you have JMETER_HOME defined, run the following command on your console window:

export JMETER_HOME=/tmp/apache-jmeter-2.11
curl -L -O http://jmeter-plugins.org/downloads/file/JMeterPlugins-Standard-1.1.3.zip  && unzip -o JMeterPlugins-Standard-1.1.3.zip -d $JMETER_HOME
