On Ubuntu, I can install ab without installing all of Apache via the apache2-utils package. So:

sudo apt-get install apache2-utils

Just download Apache (www.apache.org). It comes with it (in ApacheX.X/bin)

...Guessing (from one of your other questions) that you're using a Mac... there appear to be instructions here:
http://switch.richard5.net/isp-in-a-box-v2/installing-apache-on-mac-os-x/

(if not, I can probably help with a Windows installation, but in general, Google is your friend!)

A list of mirrors for the windows binaries can be found here.

There are some basic instructions here:
http://www.ricocheting.com/how-to-install-on-windows/apache

...basically, install it, and the ab.exe will be in the 'bin' subdirectory of the installation

For Windows Users there is no direct binary download.

One has do install the Apache server via the msi setup package, grab ab.exe from the Program Files/Apachge Group/bin folder and uninstall Apache again.

link to the msi package I used was once here:

http://mirror2.klaus-uwe.me/apache//httpd/binaries/win32/httpd-2.0.65-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi

but this is 404 as of today.

http://mirror2.klaus-uwe.me/apache//httpd/binaries/win32/

might help.

Download the Apache MSI-package (https://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi -> Binaries for the version you want -> win32 directory -> httpd-...-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi), open this .msi file with 7-Zip, find ab.exe, select it, and copy it to wherever you want.

I've just done that with http://.../httpd/binaries/win32/httpd-2.2.25-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi, and it works for me.

I did the same, downloaded the binaries (2.4.25) from https://www.apachelounge.com/download/, then extract, copied /bin/ab.exe to another folder, started a cmd and it worked. – Cedric Dumont Feb 01 '17 at 06:05
Thanks @CedricDumont so much easier on this link! – Wagner Bertolini Junior Dec 14 '20 at 02:04

CentOS and Fedora users can find Apache Benchmark in package httpd-tools.

Example:

# CentOS
sudo yum install httpd-tools
# Fedora
sudo dnf install httpd-tools

Use installed Apache Benchmark binary as ab.

Get the .msi from archive site:

http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/

once installed, go to your Windows explorer to the installation path like: C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\bin\ab.exe
