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:
| Platform Version | RPM Repository |
|---|---|
| RHEL 7 | a-mq-clients-1-for-rhel-7-server-rpms
|
| RHEL 6 | a-mq-clients-1-for-rhel-6-server-rpms
|
| RHEL 5 | a-mq-clients-1-for-rhel-5-server-rpms

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.
