How to install

NuGet

The simplest way to install MassTransit into your solution/project is to use NuGet.:

nuget Install-Package MassTransit

Raw Binaries

If you are a fan of getting the binaries you can get released builds from

http://github.com/masstransit/MassTransit/downloads

Then you will need to add references to

  • MassTransit.dll
  • MassTransit.<Transport>.dll (Either MSMQ or RabbitMQ)
  • MassTransit.<ContainerSupport>.dll (If you are so inclined)

Compiling From Source

Lastly, if you want to hack on MassTransit or just want to have the actual source code you can clone the source from github.com.

To clone the repository using git try the following:

git clone git://github.com/MassTransit/MassTransit.git

If you want the development branch (where active development happens):

git clone git://github.com/MassTransit/MassTransit.git
git checkout develop

Build Dependencies

To compile MassTransit from source you will need the following developer tools installed:

  • .Net 4.0 sdk
  • ruby v 1.8.7
  • gems (rake, albacore)

Compiling

To compile the source code, drop to the command line and type:

.\build.bat

If you look in the .\build_output folder you should see the binaries.
