"how to install latest jmeter in ubuntu 15.10?" Code Answer

looking into jmeter package details you won't be able to get latest jmeter via apt.

follow the next simple installation steps:

sudo apt-get update - to refresh packages metadata
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre-headless - java 7 is pre-requisite for jmeter 3.0
wget -c http://ftp.ps.pl/pub/apache//jmeter/binaries/apache-jmeter-3.0.tgz - download jmeter 3.0
tar -xf apache-jmeter-3.0.tgz - unpack jmeter
apache-jmeter-3.0/bin/./jmeter -n -t apache-jmeter-3.0/extras/test.jmx - run a sample test

if anything goes wrong check java -version command output, it should print something like:

ubuntu@ip-172-31-57-21:~$ java -version

java version "1.7.0_101"

openjdk runtime environment (icedtea 2.6.6) (7u101-2.6.6-0ubuntu0.14.04.1)

openjdk 64-bit server vm (build 24.95-b01, mixed mode)

make sure you have 1.7 or higher.
