In this very short blog post we want to show you how quickly you can get a local running HiveMQ with MQTT over Websockets support and the Message Log plugin ready for action.
This is an ideal starting point for trying out MQTT locally on you computer.
So without too much words we are getting started right away:
Quickest Method in under 2 min: MacOSX + Homebrew
- Open your terminal

|
- Change websockets.enabled to true
- Change websockets.port to 8000
. . . and of cource we have a video to prove it ;)
Otherwise (longer than 2min)
- Download the current version from here
- Download the Message Log Plugin from here
- Unzip HiveMQ
- Unzip the Message Log plugin
- Copy the plugin jar into the HiveMQ plugins folder
- Open conf/configurations.properties with your favorite editor
- Change websockets.enabled to true
- Change websockets.port to 8000
Windows
- Double click run.bat in the bin folder
Linux/MacOSX
- Open a terminal and go into the HiveMQ folder

Check if everything is running
- Open our MQTT client in the browser
- Change host to localhost (make sure broker and browser are on the same machine)
- Click Connect
- HiveMQ should recognize the connect
Done!!
