3. Download Erlang from GitHub

Install Erlang and RabbitMQ

Starting and configuring the server

Rabbit MQ is installed as a service and is started automatically when your computer is started.

If you need, you can stop and start it manually with the command line tool. Start a command line, and navigate to this folder:

C:\{Program Files}\RabbitMQ Server\{rabbitmq_server-3.9.14}\sbin

{Program Files} is where your programs are stored on your windows machine
{rabbitmq_server-3.9.14} should be the version you have installed.

Stopping the service

> rabbitmq-service stop

Starting the service

> rabbitmq-service start

Web interface

The web interface is disabled by default. To enable it, go to the sbin folder:
C:\{Program Files}\RabbitMQ Server\{rabbitmq_server-3.9.14}\sbin
and enter this command:

> rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management

Now you can access it using this URL:
http://localhost:15672

Default login
