When we download the binary of apache-jmeter-x.x.tgz, where x could be any version of apache Jmeter. ApacheJMeter.jar must present inside apache-jmeter-x/bin folder , if it is not present somewhere your package not downloaded properly. Cause could be slow internet, or improper shutdown

Download package again and make sure ApacheJMeter.jar present in apache-jmeter-x/bin folder. Once it is present hit sh jemeter.sh

Try downloading apache-jmeter-2 6 zip from http   www apache org dist jmeter binaries   This contains the proper ApacheJMeter jar that is needed to initiate   Go to bin folder in the command prompt and try java -jar ApacheJMeter jar if the download is correct this should open the GUI   Edit on 23 08 2018    The correct answer as of current modern JMeter versions is https   stackoverflow com a 51973791 460802

Try to use updated JMeter version which is JMeter 3 0 now

This error could also happen because of version mismatch of jmeter and java  As jmeter versions supports different java versions as below     Download the zip accordingly and you are good to go

For people still getting the issue   I face same problem and seems some  jar file missing   so try tar -xf apache-jmeter-5 2 1 tgz in the console rather than just right click unzip  And also  try binary package if source package still has an issue  this solve my issue  I am using ubuntu

If you are using linux and faced such problem during creating link  try to change jar file path of original jmeter file     java -server -XX  HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX NewSize 128m -XX MaxNewSize 128m -XX MaxTenuringThreshold 2 -XX PermSize 64m -XX MaxPermSize 128m -XX  CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -jar   ApacheJMeter jar -help   Change to    java  ARGS  JVM ARGS -jar   opt apache-jmeter-2 11 bin ApacheJMeter jar

I m running JMeter 2 8  Windows 7  and received a message similar to that in the original post   C   gt jmeter Error  Unable to access jarfile C  local software jMeter apache-jmeter-2 8 binApacheJMeter jar errorlevel 1 Press any key to continue         I d created a Windows environment variable JMETER BIN and set it to the JMeter path which I could see contained ApacheJMeter jar  so it wasn t a question that the jar was missing    I should have noticed at the time this portion of the error   binApacheJMeter jar   When I went to the jmeter bat file to troubleshoot  I noticed this line    JM START   JM LAUNCH   ARGS   JVM ARGS  -jar   JMETER BIN ApacheJMeter jar   JMETER CMD LINE ARGS    and that caused me to revisit the  binApacheJMeter jar  portion of the error   What was happening was that the batch file was requiring a trailing slash on the end of the path in the JMETER BIN environment variable to correctly specify the location of the  jar   Once I corrected my environment variable  adding the trailing slash  all was wonderful   YMMV  but this worked for me
