Prior to installing Winshuttle Server, you must install the version of Erlang OTP and RabbitMQ appropriate to your version of Winshuttle Server. Download links are provided below.
Winshuttle Server uses RabbitMQ (an application messaging platform) as its queuing architecture, and RabbitMQ is built upon the Erlang programming language.

Note: Erlang and RabbitMQ must be installed on the same machine and the same drive. In addition, if you are re-installing RabbitMQ and Erlang, make sure you completely uninstall them prior to re-installation. See Uninstalling RabbitMQ and Erlang OTP.
Important Notes:
- Winshuttle Server components (i.e. Worker and Manager) can be installed on the same machine or separate machines.
- For the best performance, install RabbitMQ on a separate machine from Winshuttle Server.
- For Winshuttle Server requirements, Erlang should be installed with the default settings.
- After installing Erlang OTP, you need to install RabbitMQ. RabbitMQ can also be installed with the default settings.
