=Download and Install Mumble and Mumble-Server (aka Murmur)=
 +
 
 
==Windows==
 
==Windows==
Just head to [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=147372 SourceForge downloads page], get the Windows executable and run it. Follow the installer instructions and you are done.
+
'''Mumble:'''<br> 
 +
Download the latest stable version of Mumble from the [https://www.mumble.info/downloads/ Official Website].<br> 
 +
The installer will guide you through the installation and configuration of Mumble.  
  
Also, you can build Mumble yourself from source as described in [[BuildingWindows]].
+
Alternatively you can download and run the latest MSI installer (mumble-1.x.x.msi; "winx64" for the 64-bit version) from the [https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/releases GitHub releases page].<br>   
 +
''Note:'' Releases that include the term "RC" are '''R'''elease''' C'''andidates and therefore Test Versions.
  
==Linux==
+
For Windows 2000 see: [[Tips_Tricks#Installation_of_the_Mumble_client_on_Windows_2000|Tips & Tricks]]
If you want to compile your own version of Mumble, you can read some help in [[Building_from_Source]].
 
  
===Ubuntu ===
+
'''Mumble-Server (aka Murmur):'''<br> 
 +
The Mumble-Installer includes an option to install the Mumble-Server.
  
In hardy, the 1.1.X series is included, so just
+
==Mac OS X==
apt-get install mumble mumble-server
+
'''Mumble:'''<br>
 +
Download the latest stable version of Mumble from the [https://www.mumble.info/downloads/ Official Website].<br>
  
If you are running gutsy, or want a newer version than what is available in the official repository, you can download the .deb package avalaible at [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=147372 SourceForge] and install it with your package manager.  
+
Alternatively you can download the latest version from the: [https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/releases GitHub releases page]. <br>   
 +
''Note:'' Releases that include the term "RC" are '''R'''elease''' C'''andidates and therefore Test Versions.
  
Alternately you can use the PPA for mumble builds, which can be found at [https://edge.launchpad.net/~slicer/+archive launchpad]. The PPA builds are not signed, but they include builds for both i386 and amd64. Add the PPA to your list of sources, and you can ''apt-get install'' it and it will automatically track new releases of Mumble.
+
In order to be able to use the '''[[Overlay]]''' it has to be installed separately. <br>
 +
To install it: launch Mumble, go into ''Mumble's settings'' -> Overlay section and you should see an ''option to install it''.<br>
 +
The reason for the separate installation is that Mumble itself does not need administrative rights to install, but the overlay does.
  
===Fedora===
+
'''Mumble-Server (aka Murmur):'''<br>
Fedora 7 RPMs: [http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=227582&name=mumble-1.1.0-1.fc7.i386.rpm 1.1.0 i386] [http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=227581&name=mumble-1.1.0-1.fc7.x86_64.rpm 1.1.0 x86_64]
+
You can download a static version of the Mumble-Server from the [https://www.mumble.info/downloads/ Official Website].<br>
Fedora 8 RPMs: [http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=231652&name=mumble-1.1.0-2.fc8.i386.rpm 1.1.0 i386] [http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=231651&name=mumble-1.1.0-2.fc8.x86_64.rpm 1.1.0 x86_64]
 
  
Install them via double click.
+
==Linux==
===PCLinuxOS and other RPM based distros===
+
On the popular Linux distributions, Mumble should be available in the official repositories or third party repositories. <br>
You can find a rpm package in the [http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1782689&forum_id=492606 forum]. Note that it is not officially supported, but it should work. You can install it with your rpm package manager or typing (as root):
+
See the distribution sections below. <br>
 +
If not available, take a look at the snap- and flatpak-packages below.  
  
rpm -i mumble-1.0.0-2.i386.rpm
+
==== Debian ====
 +
{{Warning
 +
|message=Note that the ''mumble-server'' on Debian and Debian-based distributions (i.a. Ubuntu) will start automatically on system-start.<br>
 +
You can also disable the autostart with systemd.
 +
}}
  
===Gentoo===
+
To install Mumble from the Debian Repository, run:
emerge mumble
 
That should do it. You will need Qt4 compiled with the sqlite and sqlite3 flags. Note that the ebuild in the repository is a little outdated, you can find newer versions in the [http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1779400&forum_id=492606 forums].
 
  
===ArchLinux===
+
  apt-get install mumble
A PKGBUILD is avalaible in the [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=10221&K=mumble AUR]. Download the tarball and then run:
 
tar xfv mumble.tar.gz
 
  cd mumble
 
makepkg
 
  
That should create a package for you. Of course, you need to install all the dependencies listed before. To do it in a single command:
+
For the Mumble-Server, run:
 +
apt-get install mumble-server
  
pacman -S alsa-lib qt4 libxevie sqlite3 boost
+
==== Ubuntu ====
  
Finally, install the package:
+
Ubuntu carries whatever Mumble version was current at the time of the release in the universe repository. <br>
 +
We also maintain a [https://launchpad.net/~mumble/+archive/release PPA] ([https://launchpad.net/~mumble/+archive/release stable]) with
 +
the recent versions of Mumble.<br>
 +
If you want to try the latest development version, you can use: ([https://launchpad.net/~mumble/+archive/snapshot dev snapshots])
  
pacman -A mumble-1.0.0-1.pkg.tar.gz
+
To add the PPA use:
  
Of course, replace the package name as appropriate.
+
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mumble/release
 +
sudo apt-get update
  
==Mac OS X==
+
To install the client you can use:
There are currently no precompiled Mac OS X binaries. But you can build Mumble yourself from source as described in [[BuildingMacOsX]].
+
 
 +
sudo apt-get install mumble
  
=Post-installation tips=
+
to install and configure the server use:
==Common tips==
 
===Initializing/Resetting Murmur password===
 
Type:
 
murmur -supw <password>
 
That will change the password for SuperUser, a special user that has all rights.
 
If you want to reset the entire database, just delete murmur.sqlite and the recreate it with the command above.
 
  
==Windows==
+
sudo apt-get install mumble-server
===Text-to-Speech===
+
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mumble-server
The Text-To-Speech voices that ship by default with Windows are not all that good (and if you are not English, its even worse as it will try to speak english even when the text is not). If you have installed either MS Office or the Speech SDK, you will get more voices which can be configured from the Speech control panel. You can also buy a commercial Text-To-Speech engine; as long as it's SAPI5 compatible it can be used by Mumble. The main developers are currently using NeoSpeech Kate (buyable standalone from [http://www.nextup.com NextUp]).
 
  
===Creating a server connection shortcut===
+
=== RHEL (and its derivatives, such as CentOS) ===
You can right click on your desktop and choose "New" and pick "Shortcut" from the sub-menu.
 
In the box that says "Type the location of the item" put "mumble://username:password@servername/channel"
 
replacing the "username" with the name you log into the murmur server with (or omitting it and mumble will ask you for a user name), replacing "servername" with the DNS name or IP address of the murmur server.  "Channel" may be omitted if you want to connect to the root channel.  If a password is not specified mumble will request one from you when it attempts to connect.  The bare minimum required for the shortcut would be "mumble://servername" with mumble requesting a username and a password upon attempting to connect to "servername".  This format would also be used to embed a link to your murmur server in a web page, perhaps in the members section of a clan home page.
 
  
===It complains about mumble_ol.dll / Problems with Overlay===
+
Please see the [[Install CentOS5]] page for both packaged and manual murmur installation instructions. Mumble is not easily built on this platform at this time, and there are no official packages (yet?).
If you are running XP you will need to update it to SP2. You also need to update to the latest DirectX9 version that can be downloaded from the [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A-9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en Microsoft site]. The [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b406cf67-d926-463b-99e8-27199d6626b5&DisplayLang=en June 2007 version] should be enough.
 
  
=== Murmur dies when I log out! How can I get Murmur to stay on all the time? ===
+
For CentOS 6 see the [[Install CentOS6]] page.
If you've noticed that the Murmur server dies when you log out of Windows, this is expected. If you want Murmur to run all the time, it'll need to be ran as a service. Fortunately, this is really easy to do! For the purposes of this write-up, the service we are creating is Murmur Demo. You may call it something else if you so choose.
 
  
Some references you'll see int his write-up:
+
For CentOS 7 see the [[Install CentOS7]] page.

'''The HOW-TO'''
+
To install mumble, run:
 +
  dnf install mumble
  
Step 1: Gain Administrator access on the machine running Murmur.
+
For the Mumble-Server, run:
 +
  dnf install murmur
  
Step 2: Download and install the following collection of tools from Microsoft to the default directory (C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits):
+
There are additional packages available for the [[Overlay]] and Plugins:
 +
* mumble-overlay
 +
* mumble-plugins

+
=== SUSE ===
  
Step 3: Open a command console (Start >> Accessories >> Command Prompt).
+
Mumble packages are available from [http://software.opensuse.org/package/mumble software.opensuse.org].
  
Step 4: If you have installed to the default directory, type the following:
+
You can follow these steps while running openSUSE:
 +
# Open a web browser and go to [http://software.opensuse.org/package/mumble software.opensuse.org/package/mumble]
 +
# Assuming you're running 32bit, click on '''1-Click Install''' located at the first result
 +
# When asked to download a file, tell your browser you want to open the file
 +
# Once YaST is opened, click ''Next'' (leave defaults), then ''Next'' again, and again
 +
# Enter your root password if asked; Mumble will now download
 +
# Click '''Finish'''
 +
# To run Mumble:
 +
## Open the Kickoff application launcher and type '''mumble''', then --> '''Run mumble'''
 +
## Or: open a terminal and type '''mumble''' and press enter
  
"C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\instsrv.exe" "Murmur" "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\srvany.exe"
 
  
Below is an example of what you should see:

''Note: If you are asked to accept a certificate just press '''OK'''''
  
http://soapbox.sytes.net/Portals/soapbox/Mumble/command.jpg
+
''Note: Latest mumble version can usually be found at [http://software.opensuse.org/package/mumble opensuse.org] under "Show other versions" either at "openSUSE Factory" or under "Show unstable packages" of your openSUSE version.''
  
The result of this step is a new service in the Services console (Start >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Services).
+
Some packages can also be found in the [http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/lnussel:/mumble:/unstable/ Build Service].
  
  http://soapbox.sytes.net/Portals/soapbox/Mumble/service.jpg
+
=== Arch Linux ===
 +
To install Mumble from the Arch Repositories, run:
 +
  pacman -S mumble
  
'''Be sure to close the Services console before proceeding.'''
+
For the Mumble Server (aka Murmur):
 +
pacman -S murmur
  
Step 5: Open the registry editor (Start >> Run and enter "regedit") and navigate to the following key:
+
There are also unstable packages available in the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository AUR]:
 +
* Mumble Unstable (updated directly from Git): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mumble-git/
 +
* Mumble-Server Unstable (updated directly from Git): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/murmur-git/
  
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Murmur Demo
+
=== Mandriva/ROSA/Unity ===
  
Regedit should look something like this:
+
Mumble is available since 2010.0.
  
  http://soapbox.sytes.net/Portals/soapbox/Mumble/regedit.jpg
+
  urpmi mumble
  
Step 6: Right click on the key name ("Murmur Demo") in the left panel of regedit, and from the menu that pops up, select New >> Key.
+
It's best to install the package from Cooker - it has many fixes.
  
http://soapbox.sytes.net/Portals/soapbox/Mumble/newkey.jpg
+
=== Snap Package (for various Distributions) ===
  
Step 7: Name this new key "Parameters"
+
An Snap Package is available: https://snapcraft.io/mumble<br>
  
http://soapbox.sytes.net/Portals/soapbox/Mumble/parameters.jpg
+
It is maintained by a third-party: the Snapcrafters.
  
Step 8: Right click on the key name ("Parameters") in the left panel of regedit, and from the menu that pops up, select New >> String value.
+
=== Flatpak Package (for various Distributions) ===
  
http://soapbox.sytes.net/Portals/soapbox/Mumble/newstring.jpg
+
A Flatpak Package is available: https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/info.mumble.Mumble
  
Step 9: Name this new String value "Application".
+
=== Others ===
  
http://soapbox.sytes.net/Portals/soapbox/Mumble/application.jpg
+
If all of the above options fail to work, you can always try [[BuildingLinux|compiling Mumble from source]], however installing a package is considered "best practice".
  
Step 10: Right click on the String value ("Application) in the right panel of regedit, and from the menu that pops up, select Modify. Change the value from blank to the full path to your murmur.exe file.
+

 +
=== FreeBSD ===
 +
To install Mumble:
  
  http://soapbox.sytes.net/Portals/soapbox/Mumble/editapplication.jpg
+
  pkg install mumble
  
Repeat steps 8 through 10, making a second String value called "AppDirectory" and set its value to the full directory path of your murmur.exe file. When you're done making your registry changes, your edits should produce something like this:
+
To install Murmur:
  
  http://soapbox.sytes.net/Portals/soapbox/Mumble/final.jpg
+
  pkg install murmur
  
Step 11: Close Regedit
+
To enable Murmur:
  
Step 12: Open the Services console. Navigate to your service, and right click it and select Properties.
+
sysrc murmur_enable="YES"
  
http://soapbox.sytes.net/Portals/soapbox/Mumble/panel.jpg
+
=== OpenBSD ===
 +
To install Mumble:
  
Step 13: Make sure the Startup Type value is Automatic, and then press the Start button.
+
pkg_add mumble
  
At this point, the server should launch, although you probably won't see it. You can test to see if it's working by trying to connect to it using your client.
+
To install the Mumble-Server (Murmur):
  
If your server did start, congratulations, you're done. You should be able to logoff and reboot the machine if you want, with Murmur pesisting through both.
+
pkg_add murmur
  
If your server did not start, recheck your settings. Most problems are related to typos in configuration settings.
+
To enable Mumble-Server:
  
==Linux==
+
rcctl enable murmurd
===Getting the Shortcuts to work===
 
There are two alternatives:
 
Either use native input or Xevie.
 
  
For native input make sure that the user running Mumble has read permissions on the /dev/input/eventX files of the input devices you want to use for shortcuts.
+
{{Notice|message=The murmur package became available with the release of OpenBSD 6.7 and doesn't exist in OpenBSD 6.6 and previous releases.}}
Be aware that too weak permissions may be a security risk, because malicious processes may log all your input.
 
  
If Mumble can not read from any input device it falls back to Xevie.
+
== Smartphones ==
  
You need to have Xevie enabled in your xorg.conf. To do this you will have to add the following line to xorg.conf, in the extensions section:
+
=== Android ===
 +
[[Mumla]] is an unofficial client (by Quite), it's the successor of deprecated Plumble.
  
Option        "XEVIE" "Enable"
+
It has many features in addition to the Mumble's ones, such as: bluetooth headset support, proximity sensor utilizing "Voice Call" mode and hardware push-to-talk key support.
  
That should like something like this:
+
You can download Mumla on [https://f-droid.org/packages/se.lublin.mumla/ F-Droid].
  
Section "Extensions"
+
=== iPhone ===
    ...
+
The Mumble iOS client is available [https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mumble/id443472808?mt=8 on the App Store].
    Option        "XEVIE" "Enable"
 
    ...
 
EndSection
 
  
Then restart the X server (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace) and try again.
+
You can find more information about the iOS client from the [https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble-iphoneos mumble-iphoneos GitHub repo]. Any help with the project is always appreciated.
