How To Install Eclipse Mosquitto on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - idroot
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Eclipse Mosquitto on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. For those of you who didn’t know, Mosquitto is an open-source message broker that uses the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) Protocol. It implements MQTT protocol versions 5.0, 3.1.1, and 3.1. And because of its low power consumption, it can be used on boards like Raspberry pi.
This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the Eclipse Mosquitto on Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish). You can follow the same instructions for Ubuntu 22.04 and any other Debian-based distribution like Linux Mint, Elementary OS, Pop!_OS, and more as well.
