Simple way to install RabbitMQ in Ubuntu?

Question

Is there any simple way to install RabbitMQ for Ubuntu? I did the the following:

Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://www.rabbitmq.com/debian/ testing main   

then install with apt-get:

$ sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server 

But I get the following error every time:

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.  Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation:  The following packages have unmet dependencies:  rabbitmq-server: Depends: erlang-nox (>= 1:12.b.3) but 1:11.b.5dfsg-11 is to be     installed  E: Broken packages 

How am I supposed to install dependencies and to control the version of erlang-nox since it is installed already?

If Mudaser Ali answer doesn't help, then you can use the below steps. It worked for me. Please note that this answer is for ubuntu precise.

Download debain from http://www.rabbitmq.com/install-debian.html, but don't run it

Open /etc/apt/sources.list and add the below line in it

deb http://packages.erlang-solutions.com/ubuntu precise contrib

Then execute the below commands

wget http://packages.erlang-solutions.com/ubuntu/erlang_solutions.asc sudo apt-key add erlang_solutions.asc sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install erlang sudo apt-get install erlang-nox sudo dpkg -i rabbitmq-server_3.2.1-1_all.deb
