Having trouble getting started

I downloaded the 2.3.1 zip   binary  and the 2.3.1 source     I have
extracted both   but I do not see a way to actually start the program
there is no jmeter.exe file present..   how do you install and use
Jmeter in a Windows environment?

Thanks
Ron

As Ronan says:

http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/get-started.html#running

BTW, there's no need to download the source if you only want to run JMeter.

If you have unzipped the binary archive, it should be in the directory

jakarta-jmeter-2.3.1/bin

There is no 'jmeter.exe' file - it's a Java app and compiles to Java
bytecode.

Look for 'jmeter.bat' - this is a batch file that will start JMeter and
the Java virtual machine.

There is no 'jmeter.exe' file - it's a Java app and compiles to Java
bytecode.
