    # Troubleshooting RabbitMQ installation on OSX via homebrew

    brew update
    brew install rabbitmq

    To see if rabbitmq is running after following the installation instructions:

    launchctl list | grep rabbit
    > 48303 - homebrew.mxcl.rabbitmq

    You should see a process id in the first column. If not, it's because `rabbitmq-server` is not running.

    Try to manually start `rabbitmq-server`

    rabbitmq-server

    If you see an error message after a minute or so like:

    ERROR: epmd error for host "yourhostname": timeout (timed out establishing tcp connection)

    Then you need to update your `/etc/hosts` file to add your hostname to the list of localhost:

    127.0.0.1 yourhostname
