Code to replicate the celery tutorial linked below while running in a Windows 8.1 environment.

1. Install ERLANG from here

2. Install RabbitMQ from here

   • I think if you do this in order and you don't use a 32bit version of RabbitMQ and 64bit version of Erlang you can skip the ERLANG_HOME setup

3. setup %ERLANG_HOME%

4. setup %RABBITMQ_SERVER%

5. add %RABBITMQ_SERVER%\sbin to PATH

6. Open a command window and type the following to start the server.

rabbitmq-server

• If you get a node already started error, open task manager and kill the Erlang interpreter if it is running.

7. In a second command window, run:

celery worker -A tasks -l INFO

8. In a third command window, run:

ipython

from tasks import add
for i in xrange(10000):
  add.delay(i, i)
