Installation

Installing the Controller

The Controller is used to:

  • design scenarios using the GUI,

  • manage the Load Generators during the test and collect test data, and

  • analyze the test results.

Note: The Controller has a built-in Load Generator.

Windows:

run neoload_windows_<version>.exe

Unix (GUI installer):

run ./neoload_<platform>_<version>.sh

Unix (command line):

Extract the compressed archive to the desired destination directory: tar -xzf neoload_<platform>_<version>.tar.gz

Installer in console mode

If the installer is invoked with the -c argument, the interaction with the user is performed in the terminal from which the installer was invoked. For example: ./neoload_linux_2_1_0.sh -c

Installing a Load Generator

The Controller features its own built-in Load Generator. Load Generators may be installed on other machines to further increase the loading.

Windows:

run loadGenerator_windows_<version>.exe

Unix (GUI installer):

run ./loadGenerator_<platform>_<version>.sh

Unix (command line):

Extract the compressed archive to the desired destination directory: tar -xzf loadGenerator_<platform>_<version>.tar.gz

Installer in console mode

If the installer is invoked with the -c argument, the interaction with the user is performed in the terminal from which the installer was invoked. For example: ./neoload_linux_2_1_0.sh -c
