How to Install & Set Up Locust

pip install locust
locust --version

Pure Python via pip — identical on RHEL, Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu as long as python3-pip is installed (sudo dnf install -y python3-pip, or sudo apt install -y python3-pip).

from locust import HttpUser, task, between

class QuickUser(HttpUser):
    wait_time = between(1, 3)

    @task
    def index(self):
        self.client.get("/")

locust -f locustfile.py --host https://example.com
