RabbitMQ is a message broker that is widely used in enterprise messaging systems. It is a free and open-source software that implements the advanced message queuing protocol (AMQP). This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing RabbitMQ on POP! OS Latest.
Before installing any new package, it is always recommended to update the system to the latest version. Open the terminal and type the following command to update the system.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
RabbitMQ is written in Erlang, so we need to install Erlang first. Run the following command to install Erlang.
sudo apt install -y erlang
After installing Erlang, you can check the version of the installed Erlang by running the following command.
erl -version
RabbitMQ is not available in the POP! OS repository. So, we need to add the RabbitMQ repository. Run the following command to add the RabbitMQ repository to the system.
echo 'deb https://dl.bintray.com/rabbitmq/debian bionic main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bintray.rabbitmq.list
After adding the RabbitMQ repository, update the system again to update the package list. Run the following command to update the package list.
sudo apt update
Now, we can install RabbitMQ by running the following command.
sudo apt install -y rabbitmq-server
After installing RabbitMQ, start the RabbitMQ service by running the following command.
sudo systemctl start rabbitmq-server
To enable the RabbitMQ service to start automatically on boot, run the following command.
sudo systemctl enable rabbitmq-server
After starting RabbitMQ, we can check the status of RabbitMQ by running the following command.
sudo systemctl status rabbitmq-server
If RabbitMQ is running successfully, the output of the command should indicate that the service is active.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install RabbitMQ on POP! OS Latest. Now, you can use RabbitMQ to implement enterprise messaging systems.
