Using Docker (linux & macOS only)
For JMeter (and all supported tools) - there is the option to use our actual Flood Docker image if you do not wish to setup a local native tool binary install. Simply use the following properties in your config.yaml to let Flood know that you wish to use Flood's docker container for the respective load test tool instead of your own.

tools:

   flood-element: true
