Installing The Grinder

We use The Grinder to do our load testing.

On Unbuntu to install The Grinder do the following:

h1. Install Jython

 $ sudo apt-get install jython

Then download and install The Grinder in a directory called tools under your home.

Now we want to be able to easily launch scripts and perhaps one day run scripts on multiple boxes. Link grinder to /usr/local/grinder as follows:

sudo ln -s /home/user/tools/grinder/grinder-3.4/ /usr/local/grinder

Create scripts

1. Setup links

$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/grinder/bin/runGrinderConsole.sh /usr/bin/runGrinderConsole

I could not decide between parity and brevity so I did both. $ sudo ln -s /usr/local/grinder/bin/runGrinderAgent.sh /usr/bin/runGrinderAgent $ sudo ln -s /usr/local/grinder/bin/runGrinderAgent.sh /usr/bin/runGrinder
