I prefer using HomeBrew to brew my Mac. If you don’t already have HomeBrew on your Mac, get it by running ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

ActiveMQ

  • Install on MacOS http://activemq.apache.org/getting-started.html#GettingStarted-StartingActiveMQ

brew install apache-activemq

Add the following to ~/.profile

export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/Cellar/activemq/5.7.0/bin:$PATH

Run the commands to start/stop activemq:

activemq start
activemq stop

Access console on: http://localhost:8161/admin/index.jsp

brew install nexus

nexus start
nexus stop

Access console on http://localhost:8081/nexus
