Cannot start jmeter on OS x (El Capitan)

I am working on a web project and I want to integrate JMeter to run some load tests. I follow this simple tutorial . I installed JMeter using brew. When I try to start JMeter, I get the following error: cannot find Java executable or version. Check your Java installation.

Earlier, I installed the latest version of java ( https://www.java.com/en/download/mac_download.jsp ) and I checked it at https://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp . I get this message "Congratulations! You have recommended Java (version 8 Update 91)." But I can not start JMeter. How to configure my Java or JMeter installation to run?

Modify /usr/local/brew/Cellar/jmeter/3.0/libexec/bin/jmeter and comment out the version check box at the top as a workaround.
