Answer 1

The error you're getting is about missing Synthesis Report plugin, you need to:

• download it from https://jmeter-plugins.org/?search=jpgc-synthesis
• drop to lib/ext folder of your JMeter installation
• restart JMeter to pick up the plugin

Another (better) way of installing the plugins and keeping them up-to-date is using JMeter Plugins Manager
