Step 1: Update System Packages
Before installing RabbitMQ, you need to make sure that your Arch Linux system is up-to-date. Open up a terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This will update all the system packages on your Arch Linux machine.
Step 2: Install Erlang
RabbitMQ is built in Erlang, so you need to install Erlang before you install RabbitMQ. To install Erlang on Arch Linux, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S erlang
This will install the latest version of Erlang on your Arch Linux machine.
Step 3: Add the RabbitMQ Package Repository
RabbitMQ has an official package repository that provides up-to-date packages for RabbitMQ. To add the RabbitMQ package repository, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S rabbitmq
Step 4: Enable and Start RabbitMQ Service
Now that you have installed RabbitMQ, you need to enable and start the RabbitMQ service. To do this, run the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable rabbitmq
sudo systemctl start rabbitmq
These commands will enable and start the RabbitMQ service on your Arch Linux machine.
Step 5: Verify RabbitMQ Installation
To verify that RabbitMQ has been successfully installed on your Arch Linux machine, run the following command:
sudo rabbitmqctl status
If everything has been installed correctly, you should see output similar to the following:
Status of node rabbit@your_hostname ...
