<p>I'm trying to find <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/ab.html" rel="noreferrer">ab - Apache HTTP server benchmarking tool</a> for Ubuntu, I'm hoping there's a package I can install for it. I decided I need to do some simple load testing on my applications.</p>

```
```
% sudo apt-get install apache2-utils
```
```
The command-not-found package in Ubuntu provides some slick functionality where if you type a command that can't be resolved to an executable (or bash function or whatever) it will query your apt sources and find a package that contains the binary you tried to execute.  So, in this case, I typed
```
ab
```
at the command prompt:
```
```
% ab
The program 'ab' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install apache2-utils
bash: ab: command not found
```
```
