Downloading nightly builds

Where are the nightly builds?

There are currently no regular nightly builds - sorry.

However, occasional builds are made available via the Binary Downloads page - follow Nightly builds link.

What do they consist of?

JMeter is distributed as a set of zip (or tar-gz) archive files. The files are called:

jakarta-jmeter-{version}_bin.zip - JMeter binaries
jakarta-jmeter-{version}_lib.zip - 3rd party jar files
jakarta-jmeter-{version}_src.zip - JMeter source
jakarta-jmeter-{version}_api.zip - JMeter Javadoc

Installing JMeter runtime

Download the _bin and _lib files
Unpack the archives into the same directory structure
The other archives are not needed to run JMeter.

Warning - please note!

The nightly builds may or may not work properly - or at all.
If there is a problem with a particular version, it may be worth reporting this on the JMeter-dev mailing list and/or trying again in a day or two.
