You will require Erlang. Breaking that down further gets complicated. It
depends on what you mean by RabbitMQ server and on your operating
system. The question is hard to answer in general, because not all
distributions / operating systems package Erlang in the same way and
answer will depend on the version of RabbitMQ and plugins, which may
have more dependencies.

The base broker declares dependencies on these Erlang applications in
the application resource file: kernel, stdlib, sasl, mnesia, os_mon.

If you use SSL then you will also need public_key and ssl.
If you use HiPE then you may also need hipe.
If you want to test or compile the broker then you will need quite a few
more.

Also see this page

for information on which versions of Erlang are required for various
features.
