Binary Install

Thanks to the great efforts of the RabbitMQ team, installing plugins in RabbitMQ 2.0 is a breeze. Download the .tar.gz file from the downloads section and untar it inside your “plugins” directory.

cd $RABBITMQ_HOME
mkdir plugins
cd plugins
tar -zxvf ~/rabbit_webhooks-0.3.tar.gz

The tar file contains three .ez files:

amqp_client.ez
lhttpc.ez
rabbit_webhooks.ez

Follow the instructions on configuring the webhooks plugin.

Now restart your broker. If you’re using Ubuntu, you’d do something like:

sudo service rabbitmq-server restart

Hopefully it will say “SUCCESS”.
