How to install Latest RabbitMQ Server on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Step 1: Install Erlang/OTP

RabbitMQ requires Erlang to be installed first before it can run. Install Erlang on Ubuntu 18.04 system using our previous guide:

1: Import Erlang GPG Key

Run the following commands to import Erlang repository GPG key

wget -O- https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/ubuntu/erlang_solutions.asc | sudo apt-key add -

2: Add the Erlang Repository

Once you have imported the key, add the repository to your Ubuntu 18.04 system by running the following commands:

echo "deb https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/ubuntu bionic contrib" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rabbitmq.list

3: Install Erlang

The last step is the actual installation of Erlang. Update your system package list and install Erlang

sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install erlang

Once Erlang has been installed, proceed to step 2.

Step 2: Add RabbitMQ Repository To Ubuntu 18.04
