If you need to set a different amount of ram in each execution, you can export it with the env var HEAP and then run your jmeter script.

export HEAP="-Xms3g -Xmx3g -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=1g"
jmeter ...

Create setenv.sh in JMETER_HOME/bin: touch ${JMETER_HOME}/bin/setenv.sh

Edit file vi setenv.sh

To set maximum 8Gb,for example, add line: HEAP="-Xms512m -Xmx8g"

On my Ubuntu , I modified the jmeter script launcher like this: (heap's line) 

# system's memory availablity:
HEAP="-Xms1024m -Xmx2048m"

At the bottom of script , you can see :

ARGS="$SERVER $DUMP $HEAP $NEW $SURVIVOR $TENURING $EVACUATION $RMIGC $PERM"

java  $ARGS $JVM_ARGS -jar "`dirname "$0"`/ApacheJMeter.jar" "$@"
