I am searching for a ppa that have the JMeter 3 releases. The actual ubuntu 17.10 release (https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/artful/universe/base/jmeter, https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=jmeter) only JMeter Version 2.13.20170723. Does anyone know a repository with the latest releases of JMeter?
My intention is not to install it by hand. I prefer a repository to get constantly updates and so on.
JMeter is a pure Java application therefore you therefore you don't need any repository.
Install Java 8 (which is a pre-requisite for JMeter 3.3)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
If you have > 1 Java version you can choose the correct one using the following command:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
Double check your Java installation by running the next command in the terminal
java -version
and make sure you have 1.8.0 in the output
Once done you can download the latest JMeter version like:
wget http://www.namesdir.com/mirrors/apache//jmeter/binaries/apache-jmeter-3.3.tgz
Unpack it:
tar xf apache-jmeter-3.3.tgz
And launch it:
apache-jmeter-3.3/bin/./jmeter

The answer is No. There's no repositories available in the public access on the Internet right now.

But there's no answer you ask for, at least till now.
