How to install rabbitmq and erlang on centOS without root user? - linux

Question

Can anyone help me with installation?
I have install virtualEnv and trying to install both of these. but not sure it is correct or not.

Answer 1

I know this is an old version, but it worked for me on a different Linux build (Mate OS). Follow the steps in this blog post which I have simplified below.
Download the below
ERLANG from OTP R16B03-1 Source File
RabbitMQ from RabbitMQ Server.tar.gz
Installing Erlang
Extract the ERLANG file
cd to source folder
run $ configure
run $ make
Open Makefile and change /Users/deepkrish/Application/erlang to a suitable directory
The line you are looking for is the below:
# prefix from configure, default is /usr/local (must be an absolute path) prefix = /Users/deepkrish/Application/erlang
Run $ make install
Once Erlang is installed non root user add the erlang/bin to PATH in .bash_profile like below:
export ERLANG=”/Users/deepkrish/Application/erlang/bin”
export PATH=${ERLANG}:${PATH}
Now execute the profile by running `$ source .bash_profile” or log off and login again.
Check $ erl -version This should give you the below:
Erlang (SMP,ASYNC_THREADS,HIPE) (BEAM) emulator version 5.10.4
Installing RabbitMQ
Untar the RabbitMQ.tar file and $ cd to the extracted folder
run $ make
2. This should create a scripts folder. Now change into that. $ cd scripts
Now change the below in the rabbitmq-defaults file. This will change where we run and log rabbitMQ. You can change it to the folder you want to run RabbitMQ from as below
### next line potentially updated in package install steps SYS_PREFIX=~/Application/RabbitMQ
Save and close the file
Now create a directory mkdir -p ../etc/rabbitmq Note that if you don't have access to the /etc directory you can also change it to somewhere else.
./rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
Start rabbitmq server $ ./rabbitmq-server &
I use the below script file to start RabbitMQ server whenever I log on.
#!/bin/sh
cd /home/myusername/myproject/RabbitMQ/rabbitmq-server-3.2.3/scripts
export ERLANG="/home/myusername/myproject/RabbitMQ/erlang/bin"
export PATH=${ERLANG}:${PATH}
./rabbitmq-server &
