We want to use JMeter.

I've downloaded the production version as directed in the user manual at http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/get-started.html

But how do I get started and install the software?

I don't know java and I can't find any instructions on what I'm supposed to do with the download.

I am on a Mac.

How do I install the product as a usable program?

The easiest way to install it is using Homebrew:

brew install jmeter

Or if you need plugins also:

brew install jmeter --with-plugins

And to open it, use the following command (since it doesn't appear in your Applications):

open /usr/local/bin/jmeter
