I installed JMeter 5.0 without plugin on MacOS X system. I would like to doing test in JMeter basic on WebSocket connections. I installed JMeter 5.0 but without Manager Plugin, and i can't reinstalled it. I also can't added install Manager Plugin. I download file plugin-manager.jar and copy this file to the lib/ext directory in jmeter.but after restart jmeter still don't have Manager Plugin. i dont know, how I can install plugin WebSocket Sampler, if enough download JMeterWebSocketSamplers-1.2.1.jar and move up to lib/ext directory and next do restart JMeter, or anything else?

If you installed JMeter using Homebrew like brew install jmeter - you should drop the plugins manager .jar file to a specific place

  1. Identify where JMeter itself is installed

    #which jmeter
/usr/local/bin/jmeter

  2. Check where this script points to:

    #ls -la /usr/local/bin/jmeter
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  31 Nov  1  2017 jmeter -> ../Cellar/jmeter/x.x/bin/jmeter

    where x.x might be different depending on JMeter version, ideally it should be the latest JMeter version which is JMeter 5.0 as of now. If the version is lower - run brew upgrade jmeter command

  3. In above setup I need to put JMeter Plugins Manager jar to 

    /usr/local/Cellar/jmeter/5.0/libexec/lib/ext/

If you installed JMeter by manually fetching it from JMeter Downloads page, extracted it somewhere and installed the plugins manager in lib/ext folder - you should be good to go, just make sure you run ./jmeter.sh file, not jmeter
