JMETER_HOME environment variable is not defined

I tried to execute JMeter 4.0 from the command prompt in Windows 7.

I got the following error during execution:

The JMETER_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly This environment variable is needed to run this program

I set C:\apache-jmeter-4.0\bin to JMETER_HOME variable, but the problem remains

I can start JMeter with its jar file.

I use jdk1.8.0_162 and set JAVA_HOME environment variable correctly.

  1. ensure java is installed and can check with java —version
  2. assuming the path jmeter installed is C:\apache-jmeter-5.3
    1. add the user variable
      1. press new
      2. add Jmeter variable name as JMETER_HOME
      3. variable value as: C:\apache-jmeter-5.3
    2. add the path
      1. look for Path system variable and press edit
      2. edit it to have C:\apache-jmeter-5.3\bin
      3. it doesnt have Path(very unlikely), than press new and add variable name as path and value as C:\apache-jmeter-5.3\bin
    3. restart cmd and type jmeter should do the job.

For me, setting the Windows environment variable didn't help. Instead it worked when I set the variable at the command line (using the root folder of jmeter).

Like this:

SET JMETER_HOME=C:\apache-jmeter-4.0

Asually a wrong JMETER_HOME entry causes this. make sure you have JMETER_HOME pointed to jmeter folder not inside bin directory. For example ,from my local windows i am able to see this thie environment variable

Type : echo %JMETER_HOME%

you should see this in cmd

Easiest way: just delete the JMETER_HOME environment variable, run jmeter.bat and variable will be added automatically.

Ensure you have installed Java and JMETER Gui works fine first.

Then,

At User Variables add JMETER_HOME followed by D:\Jmeter (Where Jmeter is installed) Next select Path in User variables and add D:\Jmeter\bin(Where Jmeter bin path is)

Save and restart cmd.

P.S: This is for Windows solution

You should set JMETER_HOME to main JMeter directory as C:\apache-jmeter-4.0

Also don't set JMeter directory to JAVA_HOME variable (should hold Java installation path)

One reason for getting this error is to have JMETER_HOME variable defined in the environment variables but pointing to the wrong location. I had this problem due to previous installation.

  • First ensure you've Java installed
  • Second you need to ensure the working directory of your call is the JMeter installation directory.

Assumption your JMeter installation is located under:

C:\Program Files (x86)\apache-jmeter-4.0

then you need to set this as working directory.

As you can read in the jmeter.bat file itself:

JMETER_HOME - installation directory. Will be guessed from location of jmeter.bat

This might sound obvious, but I'm getting this error on machines that don't have Java installed. Of course, though a better message might have been nice!

You don't need to set JMETER_HOME path explicitly under user variables, just add/change under system variables under path variable as your bin path. If you already have earlier version of JMeter just append with latest version. Path looks like : C:\XXX\apache-jmeter-4.0\bin
