===================

Celery requires a solution to send and receive messages, usually this comes in the form of a separate service called a message broker.

There are several choices available, including:

RabbitMQ

RabbitMQ is feature-complete, stable, durable and easy to install. It’s an excellent choice for a production environment. Detailed information about using RabbitMQ with Celery:

If you are using Ubuntu or Debian install RabbitMQ by executing this command:
