There won't be too much screenshots, however I believe the answer will still be helpful

Install Apache Ant. Make sure that /bin folder of Ant installation is in your PATH
Go to "extras" folder of your JMeter installation in command propmt.
Type ant
If everything goes well you should see "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" message
Ant will generate 2 artifacts:
- Test.jtl - XML file with results
- Test.html - HTML wile with results which can be viewed in browser
If steps 1-5 are successful you can now replace /extras/Test.jmx with your own JMeter test, delete Test.jtl file and execute step 3 for your test script.

See following references:

/extras/build.xml Ant build file
JMeter Ant Task manual

i copied all Apache Ant files from bin ( apache-ant-1.9.6\bin ) and paste to " apache-jmeter-2.13\apache-jmeter-2.13\extras " , above commands in screenshots not work for me. Please explain clearly , i am beginner in jmeter . – Don73 Sep 30 '15 at 07:30
It won't work that way. Ant is a separate tool. Just make sure that ant.bat script is in your OS PATH – Dmitri T Sep 30 '15 at 13:37

JMeter produces the result in XML format. You need an XSLT file to convert this to a nice HTML.

This site has the detailed steps on running JMeter tests with ANT + creating HTML reports + Creating charts.
