+
__TOC__
==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.
 
  
Also, you can build Mumble yourself from source as described in [[BuildingWindows]].
+
=Download and Install Mumble and Mumble-Server (aka Murmur)=
  
==Linux==
+
==Windows==
Some Linux distributions already have mumble packaged so that an easy installation is possible. Check your package manager of your distribution for mumble.
+
'''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.  
  
But sometimes those packages are not up to date. So if you want more in-depth information about installing mumble for Linux read up on [[BuildingLinux]]. Installation from source (svn and tarball) is also described there.
+
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.
  
===Ubuntu ===
+
For Windows 2000 see: [[Tips_Tricks#Installation_of_the_Mumble_client_on_Windows_2000|Tips & Tricks]]
  
In hardy, the 1.1.X series is included, so just
+
'''Mumble-Server (aka Murmur):'''<br> 
apt-get install mumble mumble-server
+
The Mumble-Installer includes an option to install the Mumble-Server.
  
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.  
+
==Mac OS X==
 +
'''Mumble:'''<br>
 +
Download the latest stable version of Mumble from the [https://www.mumble.info/downloads/ Official Website].<br>
  
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.
+
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.
  
===Fedora===
+
In order to be able to use the '''[[Overlay]]''' it has to be installed separately. <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]
+
To install it: launch Mumble, go into ''Mumble's settings'' -> Overlay section and you should see an ''option to install it''.<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]
+
The reason for the separate installation is that Mumble itself does not need administrative rights to install, but the overlay does.
  
Install them via double click.
+
'''Mumble-Server (aka Murmur):'''<br>
===PCLinuxOS and other RPM based distros===
+
You can download a static version of the Mumble-Server from the [https://www.mumble.info/downloads/ Official Website].<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):
 
  
rpm -i mumble-1.0.0-2.i386.rpm
+
==Linux==
 +
On the popular Linux distributions, Mumble should be available in the official repositories or third party repositories. <br>
 +
See the distribution sections below. <br>
 +
If not available, take a look at the snap- and flatpak-packages below.  
  
===Gentoo===
+
==== Debian ====
Become root and do:
+
{{Warning
emerge -av mumble
+
|message=Note that the ''mumble-server'' on Debian and Debian-based distributions (i.a. Ubuntu) will start automatically on system-start.<br>
That should do the magic. If something fails though, check up on [[BuildingLinux]]
+
You can also disable the autostart with systemd.
 +
}}
  
===ArchLinux===
+
To install Mumble from the Debian Repository, run:
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 xzfv 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:
+
apt-get install mumble
  
  pacman -S alsa-lib qt4 libxevie sqlite3 boost
+
For the Mumble-Server, run:
 +
  apt-get install mumble-server
  
Finally, install the package:
+
==== Ubuntu ====
  
pacman -A mumble-1.0.0-1.pkg.tar.gz
+
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])
  
Of course, replace the package name as appropriate.
+
To add the PPA use:
  
==Mac OS X==
+
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mumble/release
Precompiled Mac OS X universal binaries are available from the [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=147372 SourceForge downloads page].
+
sudo apt-get update
  
You can also build it from source yourself if you wish. See [[BuildingMacOsX]] for more information.
+
To install the client you can use:
  
=Post-installation tips=
+
  sudo apt-get install mumble
==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==
+
to install and configure the server use:
===Text-to-Speech===
 
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===
+
sudo apt-get install mumble-server
You can right click on your desktop and choose "New" and pick "Shortcut" from the sub-menu.
+
  sudo dpkg-reconfigure mumble-server
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===
+
=== RHEL (and its derivatives, such as CentOS) ===
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? ===
+
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'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 6 see the [[Install CentOS6]] page.
  
instsrv.exe - A program that adds services to the Windows registry.
+
For CentOS 7 see the [[Install CentOS7]] page.
  
srvany.exe - A program that allows any Windows application and some Windows 16-bit applications to run as a service.
+
=== Fedora ===
  
'''The HOW-TO'''
+
Install from Fedora Repositories:
  
Step 1: Gain Administrator access on the machine running Murmur.
+
To install mumble, run:
 +
  dnf install mumble
  
Step 2: Download and install the following collection of tools from Microsoft to the default directory (C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits):
+
For the Mumble-Server, run:
 +
  dnf install murmur
  
[http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&displaylang=en Windows 2003 Server Resource Kit].
+
There are additional packages available for the [[Overlay]] and Plugins:
 +
* mumble-overlay
 +
* mumble-plugins
  
Step 3: Open a command console (Start >> Accessories >> Command Prompt).
+
=== SUSE ===
  
Step 4: If you have installed to the default directory, type the following:
+
Mumble packages are available from [http://software.opensuse.org/package/mumble software.opensuse.org].
  
"C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\instsrv.exe" "Murmur" "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\srvany.exe"
+
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
  
Below is an example of what you should see:
 
  
http://soapbox.sytes.net/Portals/soapbox/Mumble/command.jpg
+
''Note: If you are asked to accept a certificate just press '''OK'''''
  
The result of this step is a new service in the Services console (Start >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Services).
+
''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.''
  
http://soapbox.sytes.net/Portals/soapbox/Mumble/service.jpg
+
Some packages can also be found in the [http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/lnussel:/mumble:/unstable/ Build Service].
  
'''Be sure to close the Services console before proceeding.'''
+
=== Arch Linux ===
 +
To install Mumble from the Arch Repositories, run:
 +
pacman -S mumble
  
Step 5: Open the registry editor (Start >> Run and enter "regedit") and navigate to the following key:
+
For the Mumble Server (aka Murmur):
 +
pacman -S murmur
  
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Murmur Demo
+
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/
  
Regedit should look something like this:
+
=== Mandriva/ROSA/Unity ===
  
http://soapbox.sytes.net/Portals/soapbox/Mumble/regedit.jpg
+
Mumble is available since 2010.0.
  
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.
+
urpmi mumble

=== Snap Package (for various Distributions) ===
  
http://soapbox.sytes.net/Portals/soapbox/Mumble/parameters.jpg
+
An Snap Package is available: https://snapcraft.io/mumble<br>
  
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.
+
It is maintained by a third-party: the Snapcrafters.

+
=== Others ===
  
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.
+
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".

=== FreeBSD ===
 +
To 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:
+
pkg install mumble

Step 12: Open the Services console. Navigate to your service, and right click it and select Properties.
+
To enable Murmur:
  
  http://soapbox.sytes.net/Portals/soapbox/Mumble/panel.jpg
+
  sysrc murmur_enable="YES"
  
Step 13: Make sure the Startup Type value is Automatic, and then press the Start button.
+
=== OpenBSD ===
 +
To install 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.
+
pkg_add mumble
  
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.
+
To install the Mumble-Server (Murmur):
  
If your server did not start, recheck your settings. Most problems are related to typos in configuration settings.
+
pkg_add murmur
  
==Linux==
+
To enable Mumble-Server:
===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.
+
rcctl enable murmurd
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.
+
{{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.}}
  
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:
