Downloading and Installing Markov4JMeter

From the Markov4JMeter homepage you can download two types of archives:

Source Archives:

The source archive contains the Markov4JMeter sources. These archive names follow the pattern markov4jmeter-<version>_src.{zip|tgz}. This archive is required when Markov4JMeter shall be modified and compiled. It includes further instructions to do so.

Runtime Archives:

The runtime archive contains a runnable version of Markov4JMeter which can be used with JMeter. These archive names follow the pattern markov4jmeter-<version>.{zip|tgz}.

In order to install a runnable version of Markov4JMeter, the following steps need to be performed:

1. Download and extract the Markov4JMeter runtime archive in the desired file type (tgz- or zip-format).
2. Copy the Markov4JMeter.jar, which resides inside the dist/ directory, to the directory lib/ext/ of the JMeter installation.
3. After restarting JMeter, two new entries within the Logic Controllers menu exist: Markov State and Markov Session Controller (see Figure 1).

 Figure 1: After installing Markov4JMeter, the Logic Controller menu shows two new entries: Markov State and Markov Session Controller.
