With the RabbitMQ broker installed, we just need to launch it. There are these two approaches to doing that:
- Starting it in our current shell
- Having it start when the machine boots
To start in our current shell, we can execute the following command:
$ rabbitmq-server

On a macOS with Homebrew, use the following to launch as a daemon process and relaunch when we reboot:
$ brew services start rabbitmq
