How do I set up a RabbitMQ consumer?

To set up a RabbitMQ consumer, you'll need to install the RabbitMQ client library for your programming language. Which language are you using?

I'm using Python.

Great! You can use the pika library. First, install it using pip install pika. Then, you can create a consumer like this:

import pika

connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters('localhost'))
channel = connection.channel()

channel.queue_declare(queue='your_queue_name')

def callback(ch, method, properties, body):
    print(f'Received {body}')

channel.basic_consume(queue='your_queue_name', on_message_callback=callback, auto_ack=True)

print('Waiting for messages. To exit press CTRL+C')
channel.start_consuming()

What if I want to consume messages from multiple queues?

You can declare multiple queues and set up a consumer for each one. Just make sure to specify the queue name in the basic_consume method for each consumer.
