I have a problem running jmeter on a debian 9 machine . i downloaded the latest version on the /usr/share file and added all the required env variables with java 8 version in order to run my Tests . but every jmeter command i run i get this error : enter image description here

I should precise that the jmeter.log file doesn't exist in my bin repository . Did i miss something . any body knows how to solve this please

I don't know what "the latest version on the /usr/share file" means, your issue cannot be reproduced on Debian stretch so I would recommend starting "clean"

  1. Update packages cache:

    apt-get update

  2. Install Java 8 and wget (for downloading JMeter)

    apt-get install --no-install-recommends -y openjdk-8-jre wget

  3. Download latest version of JMeter to i.e. /opt folder and unpack it:

    cd /opt && wget https://archive.apache.org/dist/jmeter/binaries/apache-jmeter-5.4.1.tgz && tar xf apache-jmeter-5.4.1.tgz

  4. Go to JMeter's "bin" folder:

    cd /opt/apache-jmeter-5.4.1/bin/

  5. Run example test in command-line non-GUI mode:

    ./jmeter -n -t ../extras/Test.jmx -l result.jtl

  6. You should see jmeter.log file in the current folder without any errors in it
