Installation Procedure for Unix
Unix Binary Installation
This procedure explains how to download and install the binary distribution on a Unix system.
NOTE: There are several alternative ways to perform this type of installation.
- Download the activemq gzip file to the Unix machine, using either a browser or a tool, i.e., wget, scp, ftp, etc. for example:
> wget http://activemq.apache.org/path/tofile/apache-activemq-4.1.0-incubator.tar.gz
- Extract the files from the gzip file into a directory of your choice. For example:
> tar zxvf activemq-x.x.x.tar.gz
- If the ActiveMQ start-up script is not executable, change its permissions. The ActiveMQ script is located in the bin directory. For example:
> cd [activemq_install_dir]/bin > chmod 755 activemq
- Proceed to the Starting ActiveMQ section of this document.
- Following start-up, go to the Testing the Installation section.
