If you are trying this setup on a Mac, make sure you have Erlang already installed otherwise have a look on my previous post on How to Install Erlang on Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
Install RabbitMQ
- Download RabbitMQ from http://www.rabbitmq.com/download.html
- Extract the file to the desired directory
- Navigate to RabbitMQ installation directory and run the following command:
$ sbin/rabbitmq-server
If RabbitMQ is started correctly you should see a message similar to the following:
Activating RabbitMQ plugins ...
