Hi everyone.

I use wrk sometime and want install on PopOS and Ubuntu, but it's not available in both OS.

Is there any repo i should add to get wrk?

Thanks

But i made own fork to make artifacts in GitHub actions and later i myself attach artifacts to releases for easy-to-use.

You can see latest releases from here

Finally, Ubuntu team added wrk to their repos, but only available for Ubuntu 20.10+.

You can use with these commands

• sudo add-apt-repository --yes "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu groovy universe"
• sudo apt update
• sudo apt install wrk

This command worked for me, hope this helps you

This way may break your Linux (Debian-based) OS, be careful, this command is provided without any warranty and may be risky

I figured that wrk was a part of the default repositories in Ubuntu 16.04 [link], but it's no longer available on Ubuntu 18.04. So I downloaded the old deb manually, and installed using dpkg. It goes without saying, use this at your own risk.

# Download the wrk binary from Ubuntu archives
$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/w/wrk/wrk_4.0.1-2_amd64.deb
# Install using dpkg
$ sudo dpkg -i wrk_4.0.1-2_amd64.deb
# At this point, dpkg might complain about missing dependencies. So you use the following.
$ sudo apt install -f

UPDATE: Unfortunately I ran into #298. I think building from source is the only way to go.
