RabbitMQ Tips

Installation

Mac

brew update
brew install rabbitmq

Locations

The RabbitMQ server scripts and CLI tools are installed into the sbin directory.

Mac

  • Intel macs: /usr/local/Cellar/rabbitmq/{version}/
  • Apple Silicon: /opt/homebrew/Cellar/rabbitmq/{version}/

They should be accessible from /usr/local/opt/rabbitmq/sbin for for Intel Macs or /opt/homebrew/opt/rabbitmq/sbin for Apple Silicon Macs. Links to binaries have been created under /usr/local/sbin for Intel Macs or /opt/homebrew/sbin for Apple Silicon ones.

To find out locations for your installation, use:

brew info rabbitmq

Running

Mac

Starting the Server

To start a node in the foreground, run:

CONF_ENV_FILE="/opt/homebrew/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf" /opt/homebrew/opt/rabbitmq/sbin/rabbitmq-server

To start a node in the background:

brew services start rabbitmq

Stopping the Server

To stop a running node, use:

brew services stop rabbitmq

or CLI tools directly:

/opt/homebrew/opt/rabbitmq/sbin/rabbitmqctl shutdown

The command will wait for the node process to stop. If the target node is not running, it will exit with a warning.
