In order to enable the JMS transport and try out JMS samples, the ActiveMQ client libraries must be installed. In case any other JMS provider is used (e.g. Apache Qpid), install any necessary libraries and/or components.

Establish a SSH connection to the Linux machine or log in on the text Linux console. You should either log in as root or obtain root permissions after login via su or sudo command.
Step 1. Download the ActiveMQ
You can use wget to download the tar.gz file directly to your server:
| Code Block |
|---|
wget http://www.apache.org/dist//activemq/apache-activemq/5.5.0/apache-activemq-5.5.0-bin.tar.gz |

Step 2. Extract Files
1. Extract the files from the GZIP file into a directory of your choice. For example:
| Code Block |
|---|
gunzip -c apache-activemq-5.5.0-bin.tar.gz |tar xvf - |

2. If the ActiveMQ start-up script is not executable, change its permissions:
| Code Block |
|---|
chmod 755 activemq |
Step 3. Run Apache ActiveMQ
From a command shell, run ActiveMQ:
| Code Block |
|---|
sh activemq start |

Step 4. Testing the Installation
ActiveMQ's default port is 61616. From another window, run netstat and search for port 61616.
| Code Block |
|---|
netstat -an|grep 61616 |

The port should be opened and LISTEN on 61616.
Step 5. Monitoring ActiveMQ
There are various ways to monitor ActiveMQ. If you are on version 4.2 or later of ActiveMQ, you can then monitor ActiveMQ using the Web Console by pointing your browser at:
| Code Block |
|---|
http://localhost:8161/admin |

Or you can use the JMX support to view the running state of ActiveMQ.
