Apache ActiveMQ is an open-source messaging and integration pattern server. It is a reliable messaging system that can be used to pass messages between distributed systems. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install ActiveMQ on Linux Mint Latest.
Before we start, you should have the following prerequisites:
Here are the steps to install ActiveMQ on Linux Mint Latest:
To download ActiveMQ, go to the official website via the following link: https://activemq.apache.org/download.html
On the download page, select the latest stable version and click the "Download" button.
wget https://archive.apache.org/dist/activemq/5.16.3/apache-activemq-5.16.3-bin.tar.gz
Next, we need to extract the downloaded file:
tar -xzf apache-activemq-5.16.3-bin.tar.gz
Move the extracted ActiveMQ files to the /opt directory:
sudo mv apache-activemq-5.16.3 /opt/
We need to set some environmental variables as Activemq requires them to run.
sudo nano /etc/environment
Add the following lines after PATH-:
ACTIVEMQ_HOME="/opt/apache-activemq-5.16.3"
JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64"
Then, save the changes and close the nano editor.
Start the ActiveMQ service using the following command:
cd /opt/apache-activemq-5.16.3/bin
sudo ./activemq start
Open your browser and enter the following URL to test your ActiveMQ installation:
http://localhost:8161/admin/
You should now see the Admin console of ActiveMQ.
To stop the ActiveMQ service, run:
cd /opt/apache-activemq-5.16.3/bin
sudo ./activemq stop
You have now successfully installed ActiveMQ on your Linux Mint Latest system. It is a powerful messaging and integration pattern server that you can use to pass messages between distributed systems.
