I'm trying to install RabbitMQ from the source "rabbitmq-server-3.5.3.tar.gz" file. I can't seem to find thorough install steps online for this method. Everything seems to refer to using the rpm method of installation; however, I need to install from source. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

For the 5 people who viewed this post and may have been curious as to the solution, see below steps for setting up rabbitmq-server on a RHEL system from the direct binary files. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

sudo yum install -y erlang

wget http://www.rabbitmq.com/releases/rabbitmq-server/v3.5.3/rabbitmq-server-generic-unix-3.5.3.tar.gz

sudo mv rabbitmq-server-generic-unix-3.5.3.tar.gz /path-to/rabbitmq-binaries/

cd /path-to/binaries/

tar xvzf rabbitmq-server-generic-unix-3.5.3.tar.gz

sudo rm -f rabbitmq-server-generic-unix-3.5.3.tar.gz

sudo ln -s /path-to/rabbitmq-binaries/rabbitmq_server-3.5.3/sbin/* /usr/sbin

sudo rabbitmq-server

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I hope this helps someone else out there struggling through the install using this method.


Thanks!

Why do you need to install from source?

This is not installing from source but rather using a compiled
binary distribution.

Which has a dedicated page on rabbitmq.com:
