$ python3 setup.py develop

Open three different terminal windows and activate virtualenv using

$ source venv/bin/activate

This is important because the code is installed as a package in the virtualenv and imported wherever necessary. In each shell run:

$ python3 src/msgq/consumers/consumer_1.py

$ python3 src/msgq/consumers/consumer_2.py

$ python3 src/msgq/consumers/consumer_3.py

$ python3 src/msgq/producer/producer_1.py
