To install RabbitMQ on Linux Mint 18.3

RabbitMQ is an open source message broker software (sometimes called message-oriented middleware) that originally implemented the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) and has since been extended with a plug-in architecture to support Streaming Text Oriented Messaging Protocol (STOMP), MQTT, and other protocols

Installing RabbitMQ

First, make sure you update your system by making use of the following command. 

linuxhelp ~ # apt-get update

Reading package lists... Done

Once this is done, we can enable the RabbitMQ application repository. 

linuxhelp ~ # echo " deb http://www.rabbitmq.com/debian/ testing main"  > >  /etc/apt/sources.list

Now, we can add the verification key of The RabbitMQ package. 

linuxhelp ~ # curl http://www.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-signing-key-public.asc | sudo apt-key add -
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current

OK

Once it is done, you need to update your system again. 

linuxhelp ~ # apt-get update

linuxhelp ~ # rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
The following plugins have been enabled:
  amqp_client
  cowlib
  cowboy
  rabbitmq_web_dispatch
  rabbitmq_management_agent
