Answer 1

1. Try above answers.
2. If still not work, then you might have downloaded the wrong version of testng.jar. From link testng.org, please click "here for ant users" to download a full testng.jar(11 mega bytes), not a "Maven Central" version(no more than 100k).

I have tested those two versions on centos following testng tutorial point
