Step-by-Step Guide to Installing Erlang and RabbitMQ on Windows
This tutorial walks through downloading compatible Erlang versions, installing RabbitMQ on Windows, starting the service, verifying its status, and accessing the management UI with default credentials, providing a complete setup for backend development with RabbitMQ.
RabbitMQ is an open‑source message broker that implements the AMQP protocol and is written in Erlang; to use it on Windows you must first install a compatible Erlang runtime.
Download the matching Erlang version from the official site, run the installer, and verify the installation by launching erl from the Erlang bin directory.
Next, download the RabbitMQ installer (e.g., rabbitmq‑server‑3.10.7.exe) from the RabbitMQ website, run the installer, and complete the wizard.
After installation, start the RabbitMQ service by executing rabbitmq-server.bat in the sbin folder, then confirm it is running with rabbitmqctl status .
Open a web browser to http://127.0.0.1:15672 , log in with the default credentials (username: guest, password: guest), and verify that the management UI shows the broker is operational.
This guide provides a complete Windows‑based setup for developing with RabbitMQ, including screenshots of each step.
