MQTT server up and running in 7 simple steps

In this post I won't be talking about what MQTT server is why is and all, may be I'll write a different post for that. This post focuses on installing MQTT broker and getting it to work in 7 simple steps.

Step 1: sudo apt-get update
Step 2: sudo apt-get install mosquitto
Step 3: sudo apt-get install python-pip

Step 4: Install mosquitto module for python
> sudo python-pip install mosquitto

Step 5: Install mosquitto client
> sudo apt-get install mosquitto-clients

After executing above command you can start publisher and subscribe modules.
These publisher subscriber can use a topic and write/read data from it respectively.

Step 6: Start subscriber client
=> mosquitto_sub -h <hostname> -t <topicname> -v
> mosquitto_sub -h localhost -t testTopic -v

Step 7: Start publisher client
=> mosquitto_pub -h <hostname> -t <topicname> -m "<message>"
> mosquitto_pub -h localhost -t testTopic -m "Test Messages"

Please let me know if you find any errors while working with these steps.
