ActiveMQ

Install Apache ActiveMQ

• Download ActiveMQ from http://activemq.apache.org, both the tar file and the key file.
• Copied both files to /usr/local/activemq.
• Verifying the checksum with PGP did not work on "halld-sc" computer. Ignored it for now.
• Untared the tar-file in the /usr/local/activemq directory.
• Go to /usr/local/activemq/apache-activemq-5.5.1 directory and start by issuing

sudo bin/activemq start

• When checking the port with netstat I get

halld-sc:apache-activemq-5.5.1> netstat -an | fgrep 61616 
tcp        0      0 :::61616                    :::*                        LISTEN      

indicating that ActiveMQ is running.
