6.2 Extracting RabbitMQ

  1. Install the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013.

    The Erlang runtime for RabbitMQ requires the Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2013. This is a common dependency for many applications, so it might already be present on the machine where RabbitMQ is to be installed.

    If this package is not currently installed, it may be found at: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784.

  2. At the root of the FileReporter_4.0.iso image, unzip the RabbitMQ-3.8.x.zip file to the your desired path.

    NOTE:The path cannot contain spaces. The zipped file contains the rabbitmq folder.

  3. Proceed with Section 6.3, Creating Certificates for RabbitMQ.
