Important

About RabbitMQ and Erlang/OTP

  • It is highly recommended to keep RabbitMQ and Erlang/OTP interoperable, following the guidelines. Refer to Erlang Version Requirements | RabbitMQ for details.

  • Not all minor versions are being tested, so it is highly recommended to use the mentioned minor versions.

  • Please check the EOL of RabbitMQ and supported Erlang/OTP versions.

  • Important points to note for ASP.NET Core and .NET Desktop Runtime

    • Download and install only the recommended major version. You can select the highest minor version available. For example, if the recommended version is v8.0., then use 8.0.x. Do not use 8.1.x* or higher.

    • The official site recommends installing the desktop runtime by default, which includes the .NET Runtime, so explicit installation of .NET Runtime should not be necessary.
