.. _install_on_linux:

-------------------
Installing on Linux
-------------------

Download CentOS Package from: http://emqtt.io/downloads/latest/centos, and then unzip:

.. code-block:: bash

    unzip emqttd-centos64-v2.0-rc.2-20161019.zip

Start the broker in console mode:

CTRL+C to close the console and stop the broker.

Start the broker in daemon mode:

.. code-block:: bash

    ./bin/emqttd start

Check the running status of the broker:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ ./bin/emqttd_ctl status
    Node 'emqttd@127.0.0.1' is started
    emqttd 2.0 is running

Or check the status by URL::

    http://localhost:8083/status

Stop the broker::

    ./bin/emqttd stop

.. _install_on_freebsd:

---------------------
Installing on FreeBSD
---------------------

Download FreeBSD Package from: http://emqtt.io/downloads/latest/freebsd

The installing process is same to Linux.

.. _install_on_mac:

----------------------
Installing on Mac OS X
----------------------

We could install the broker on Mac OS X to develop and debug MQTT applications.

Download Mac Package from: http://emqtt.io/downloads/latest/macosx

Configure log level in `etc/emq.conf`, all MQTT messages recevied/sent will be printed on console:

.. code-block::

    ## Console log. Enum: off, file, console, both
    log.console = both

    ## Console log level. Enum: debug, info, notice, warning, error, critical, alert, emergency
    log.console.level = debug

    ## Console log file
    log.console.file = log/console.log

The install and boot process on Mac are same to Linux.

.. _install_on_windows:

---------------------
Installing on Windows
---------------------

Download Package from: http://emqtt.io/downloads/latest/windows.

Unzip the package to install folder. Open the command line window and 'cd' to the folder.

Start the broker in console mode::

    .\bin\emqttd console

If the broker started successfully, a Erlang console window will popup.

Close the console window and stop the emqttd broker. Prepare to register emqttd as window service.

Install emqttd serivce::
    
    .\bin\emqttd install

Start emqttd serivce::

    .\bin\emqttd start

Stop emqttd serivce::

    .\bin\emqttd stop

Uninstall emqttd service::

    .\bin\emqttd uninstall

.. WARNING:: './bin/emqttd_ctl' command line cannot work on Windows.

.. _build_from_source:

----------------------
Installing From Source
----------------------

The *EMQ* broker requires Erlang/OTP R18+ and git client to build:

Install Erlang: http://www.erlang.org/

Install Git Client: http://www.git-scm.com/

Could use apt-get on Ubuntu, yum on CentOS/RedHat and brew on Mac to install Erlang and Git.

When all dependencies are ready, clone the emqttd project from github.com and build:

.. code-block:: bash

    git clone https://github.com/emqtt/emqttd-relx.git

    cd emqttd-relx && make

    cd _rel/emqttd && ./bin/emqttd console

The binary package output in folder::

    _rel/emqttd

.. _tcp_ports:

--------------
TCP Ports Used
--------------

+-----------+-----------------------------------+
| 1883      | MQTT Port                         |
+-----------+-----------------------------------+
| 8883      | MQTT Over SSL Port                |
+-----------+-----------------------------------+
| 8083      | MQTT(WebSocket), HTTP API Port    |
+-----------+-----------------------------------+
| 18083     | Dashboard Port                    |
+-----------+-----------------------------------+

The TCP ports used can be configured in etc/emqttd.config:

.. code-block:: properties

    ## TCP Listener: 1883, 127.0.0.1:1883, ::1:1883
    mqtt.listener.tcp = 1883

    ## SSL Listener: 8883, 127.0.0.1:8883, ::1:8883
    mqtt.listener.ssl = 8883
    
    ## HTTP and WebSocket Listener
    mqtt.listener.http = 8083

The 18083 port is used by Web Dashboard of the broker. Default login: admin, Password: public

.. _quick_setup:

-----------
Quick Setup
-----------

Two main configuration files of the *EMQ* broker:

+-----------------------+-----------------------------------+
| etc/emq.conf          | EMQ Broker Config                 |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------+
| etc/plugins/\*.conf   | EMQ Plugins' Config               |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------+

Two important parameters in etc/emq.conf:

+--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| node.process_limit | Max number of Erlang proccesses. A MQTT client consumes two proccesses. |
|                    | The value should be larger than max_clients * 2                         | 
+--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| node.max_ports     | Max number of Erlang Ports. A MQTT client consumes one port.            |
|                    | The value should be larger than max_clients.                            |
+--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

.. NOTE::

    node.process_limit > maximum number of allowed concurrent clients * 2
    node.max_ports > maximum number of allowed concurrent clients

The maximum number of allowed MQTT clients:

.. code-block:: properties

    mqtt.listener.tcp = 1883

    mqtt.listener.tcp.acceptors = 8

    mqtt.listener.tcp.max_clients = 1024

    ## erlexec: HOME must be set
    uncomment '# export HOME=/root' if "HOME must be set" error.
