<p>To install a release build, simply unzip the zip/tar file into the directory
where you want JMeter to be installed. Provided that you have a JRE/JDK
correctly installed
and the JAVA_HOME environment variable set, there is nothing more for you to
do.</p>

+The installation directory structure should look something like this (for
version 2.3.1):
+<pre>
+jakarta-jmeter-2.3.1
+jakarta-jmeter-2.3.1/bin
+jakarta-jmeter-2.3.1/docs
+jakarta-jmeter-2.3.1/extras
+jakarta-jmeter-2.3.1/lib/
+jakarta-jmeter-2.3.1/lib/ext
+jakarta-jmeter-2.3.1/lib/junit
+jakarta-jmeter-2.3.1/printable_docs
+</pre>
+You can rename the parent directory (e.g. jakarta-jmeter-2.3.1) if you want,
but do not change any of the sub-directory names.
+The path to the parent directory should not contain any spaces; if it does,
then you may have problems running client-server mode.

useful.

remotely</li>
