Abstract

Red Hat JBoss A-MQ provides messaging clients as individual packages that you download from the Red Hat Customer Portal.

6.1. Installing Clients on Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Required subscriptions

In order to install the A-MQ client packages on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), you require subscriptions to both of the following Red Hat products:
  • Red Hat JBoss A-MQ 6.2.0 or 6.2.1
  • RHEL 5, 6, or 7

RPM repositories

Enable the requisite RPM repository for your version of RHEL, as shown in the following table:

Table 6.1. RPM Repositories for A-MQ Clients

Qpid JMS AMQP 1.0 Java client

To install the Qpid JMS AMQP 1.0 Java client, enter the following command (as a superuser): 
# yum install qpid-jms-client qpid-jms-client-docs qpid-jms-client-examples qpid-jms-client-maven-repo

Qpid C++ client

To install the Qpid C++ client, enter the following command (as a superuser): 
# yum install qpid-cpp-client qpid-cpp-client-devel
Important
The Qpid C++ client packages are currently not available for the following platform (processor) combinations: RHEL 5 (i686) and RHEL 6 (i686).

Python language bindings for Qpid Proton

To install the Python language bindings for the Qpid Proton messaging framework, enter the following command (as a superuser): 
# yum install python-qpid-proton python-qpid-proton-doc

Compiling the Qpid C++ client from sources on RHEL 6

The Qpid C++ client cannot be compiled from sources through the Client or ComputeNode channels on RHEL 6 (due to a missing dependency on the package, nss-devel). In order to compile from sources, it is recommended that you install the Qpid C++ client through the Server channel instead.
