In this tutorial, you will learn how to install RabbitMQ on Elementary OS Latest.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
First, update the system packages by running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
RabbitMQ requires Erlang to be installed on your system. Run the following command to install Erlang:
sudo apt install erlang
Enter your sudo password when prompted.
Download the RabbitMQ package by running the following command:
wget https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/releases/download/v3.9.7/rabbitmq-server_3.9.7-1_all.deb
Install the downloaded package using dpkg command as shown below:
sudo dpkg -i rabbitmq-server_3.9.7-1_all.deb
After installation, start the RabbitMQ service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start rabbitmq-server
To ensure that RabbitMQ starts on system boot, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable rabbitmq-server
To test if RabbitMQ is working, run the following command:
sudo rabbitmqctl status
If everything is working fine, you should see a message like this:
Status of node rabbit@localhost ...
