Installation on OSX

Erlang

In your chosen source dir which we’ll refer to as :

cd wget http://www.erlang.org/download/otp_src_R12B-5.tar.gz tar -zxvf otp_src_R12B-5.tar.gz cd otp_src_R12B-5 ./configure —enable-hipe —enable-darwin-universal make sudo make install

RabbitMQ from source tarball (OS X and generic Linux)

In short, you’ll need a working erlang installation, python, and simplejson. If your python (“python -V”) is 2.6, simplejson is included
in your distribution. Otherwise, install simplejson:

easy_install simplejson

If you don’t have easy_install, install setuptools from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools:

1. Get the latest .egg file for your version of python (“python -V”), then run it:
   wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.5/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg
   sh setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg

and install simplejson, which is needed for the “make” step below.

These instructions assume the latest RabbitMQ release 1.5.3:

1. Download somewhere
   cd /root
   wget http://www.rabbitmq.com/releases/rabbitmq-server/v1.5.3/rabbitmq-server-1.5.3.tar.gz

1. Go to your erlang lib directory, usually /usr/lib/erlang/lib or:
   cd /usr/local/lib/erlang/lib

tar -zxf ~/rabbitmq-server-1.5.3.tar.gz cd rabbitmq-server-1.5.3 make

1. There is no “make install” phase.

Be sure to add the /usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/rabbitmq-server-1.5.3/scripts to your $PATH.
