How do you install ActiveMQ locally?

Download the binary distribution, extract it, and start the broker from its bin directory:

tar -xzf apache-activemq-5.18.0-bin.tar.gz
cd apache-activemq-5.18.0
bin/activemq start

Use bin/activemq console instead to run it in the foreground for debugging. Then confirm it's up by hitting the web console at :8161/admin with the default credentials admin/admin. A compatible JDK (Java 8+) must be installed with JAVA_HOME set beforehand.

On Windows, the equivalent is running activemq.bat from the same bin directory. In containerized environments, the official ActiveMQ Docker image offers a quicker path that skips manual JDK setup on the host machine entirely.
