| <h2>What are the nightly builds?</h2> |
| <p> |
| The nightly builds are interim builds that are <b>untested and unsupported</b>. |
| <i>Use at your own risk!</i> |
| <br/> |
| These unreleased builds may not even load, may have undocumented features, |
| known defects, and any number of other issues. |
| <br/> |
| They are intended for use by developers and others wishing to help with resolving JMeter bugs. |
| </p> |
| <note><b>These builds should not be used in production.</b></note> |
| <h2>Where are the nightly builds?</h2> |
| <p>JMeter CI builds are currently run by Jenkins and Buildbot</p> |
| <p>These are located at: |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="https://builds.apache.org/job/JMeter-trunk/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/trunk/dist/">Last Successful Jenkins build for JMeter-trunk</a></li> |
| <li><a href="http://ci.apache.org/projects/jmeter/nightlies/">Buildbot nightly builds for JMeter-trunk</a></li> |
| <li><a href="https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/apache/jmeter/">Maven Snapshots (Buildbot nightly builds)</a></li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| <h2>What do they consist of?</h2> |
| <p> |
| JMeter is distributed as a set of zip (or tar-gz) archive files. |
| |
| The files are called: |
| <ul> |
| <li>apache-jmeter-{version}_bin.zip - JMeter binaries</li> |
| <li>apache-jmeter-{version}_lib.zip - 3rd party jar files (rarely changes)</li> |
| <li>apache-jmeter-{version}_src.zip - JMeter source</li> |
| <li>apache-jmeter-{version}_api.zip - JMeter Javadoc (if available)</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Installing JMeter runtime</h2> |
| Download the _bin and _lib files |
| <br/> |
| Unpack the archives into the same directory structure |
| <br/> |
| The other archives are not needed to run JMeter. |
| |
| <h2>Building JMeter</h2> |
| Download the _src, _bin and _lib files |
| <br/> |
| Unpack all the archives into the <b>same directory structure</b>. |
| <br/> |
| </p> |

| <h2>Warning - please note!</h2> |
| <note> |
| <span style="font-size : large"> |
| <b>The nightly builds may or may not work properly - or at all.</b> |
| </span> |
| </note> |
| <p> |
| If there is a problem with a particular version, |
| it may be worth reporting this on the JMeter-dev mailing list and/or trying again in a day or two. |
