 <h1>Getting Started<br>
 </h1>

 <p>
 Welcome to Apache ActiveMQ Classic. This document gives you a quick overview of how to get started trying out Apache ActiveMQ Classic.
 </p>

 <h2>Running the broker</h2>

 <p>
 From the binary distribution you can run the Apache ActiveMQ server via the bin/activemq command.
 If you're using Windows, just type
 </p>
 <pre>
     cd bin
     activemq.bat start
 </pre>
 <p>
 On Unix-like systems, type
 </p>
 <pre>
     ./bin/activemq console
 </pre>
 <p>to start the broker in foreground.</p>
 <p>
 The Apache ActiveMQ broker should now have started
 </p>
 <p>
 Tip: If you run the bin/activemq command without any arguments it will output usage.
 </p>

 To stop the broker you can press ctrl + c to stop the process.

 <h2>Running the broker in the background</h2>

 <p>
 The broker can be started as a background process via the bin/activemq command
 on Unix-like systems, type
 </p>
 <pre>
     ./bin/activemq start
 </pre>
 <p>to start the broker in background. The broker will write to its log in the data/activemq.log file.</p>

 <h2>Stopping the broker</h2>

 <p>
 The broker can be stopped via the bin/activemq command
 If you're using Windows, just type
 </p>
 <pre>
     cd bin
     activemq.bat stop
 </pre>
 <p>
 On Unix-like systems, type
 </p>
 <pre>
     ./bin/activemq stop
 </pre>
 <p>to stop the broker.


 <h2>Access the web console</h2>

 In a web browser you can access the url <a href="http://0.0.0.0:8161/admin">http://0.0.0.0:8161/admin</a> to access the ActiveMQ web console.
 <br/>
 The broker may ask for credentials to login the web console the first time.
 The default username and password is admin/admin. You can configure this in the conf/user.properties file.

 <h2>Access the web demos</h2>

 You would need to start the broker with the demos included, which you do as follows:
 If you're using Windows, just type
 </p>
 <pre>
     copy .\conf\jetty.xml .\examples\conf\
     cd bin
     activemq.bat start xbean:../examples/conf/activemq-demo.xml
 </pre>
 <p>
 On Unix-like systems, type
 </p>
 <pre>
     cp ./conf/jetty.xml ./examples/conf/
     ./bin/activemq console xbean:examples/conf/activemq-demo.xml
 </pre>

 In a web browser you can access the url <a href="http://0.0.0.0:8161/demo">http://0.0.0.0:8161/demo</a> to access the ActiveMQ web demos.
 <br/>
 The broker may ask for credentials to login the web console the first time.
 The default username and password is admin/admin. You can configure this in the conf/user.properties file.


 <h2>Example programs</h2>

 <p>Several runnable examples are in the examples directory, each with its own readme.md file containing instructions on how to run the example.</p>
 <p>Configuration examples are located in example/conf directory.</p>

 <h2>Further Readings</h2>

 You can find more details about Apache ActiveMQ at its website <a href="http://activemq.apache.org">http://activemq.apache.org</a>,
 as well the guide <a href="http://activemq.apache.org/version-5-getting-started.html">getting started</a> guide.
