tar -xvf apache-activemq-<version>-bin.tar.gz

Note: Replace <version> with the version number you downloaded.

6. Move the extracted directory to the /opt directory by running this command:

sudo mv apache-activemq-<version> /opt/activemq

Note: Replace <version> with the version number you downloaded.

7. Next, navigate to the bin directory in the ActiveMQ installation folder:

cd /opt/activemq/bin

8. Start the ActiveMQ broker by running the following command:

sudo ./activemq start

9. You can confirm that the installation is complete and ActiveMQ is running by checking the ActiveMQ status. Run the following command:

sudo ./activemq status

If the command runs without errors, it means that ActiveMQ is running.
