This page shows you directions on how to install Mumble (client) as well as Murmur (server).
 
  
==Windows==
+
__TOC__
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]].

=Getting and Installing Mumble and 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. 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  described there.
 
  
 +
Download and run the latest MSI installer (mumble-1.x.x.msi) from the [https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/releases GitHub releases page]. The installer will guide you through installation and configuration of Mumble. This installer can also optionally install Murmur (Mumble server).
  
=== Debian ===
+
For Win2000 see [[Tips_Tricks#Installation_of_the_Mumble_client_on_Windows_2000|Tips Tricks]]
  
Debian Testing (lenny) includes the latest official Mumble packages, and is the officially maintained version. New packaging efforts are encouraged to base their file layout and usernames on what is used here, to make third-party packages easier to port. To install:
+
==Mac OS X==
  
sudo aptitude install mumble
+
'''Precompiled Mac OS X universal binaries''' are available from the [https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/releases GitHub releases page].
''(for the client)''
 
sudo aptitude install mumble-server mumble-server-web
 
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mumble-server
 
''(for the server and web applications)''
 
  
''People who are in your Mumble server can go to http://<your IP or domain>/mumble/register.cgi to register with the server through a web interface.
+
Note that the official releases of Mumble 1.2.x are ''not currently compatible with Mac OS X 10.4'', but you can try the experimental snapshots found [http://www.scorpius-project.org/mumble-osx-10.4/ here] '''warning: use at your own risk; these have not been thoroughly tested, and may have bugs'''.
''They can also upload a custom texture that will be displayed in the Mumble game overlay from this page.  
 
''Any 600x60 PNG image will work, but if you have an alpha channel on in, it will have transparency.
 
''http://<your IP or domain>/mumble/ shows the list of users in your Mumble server.
 
  
v1.1.4-x86 Mumble for Debian Stable ('Etch', 4.0r5) is available at http://Vocis.K1T.NET/
+
In order to be able to use the '''[[Overlay]]''' it has to be installed separately. To install it launch Mumble, go into ''Mumbles settings'' into the Overlay section and you should see an ''option to install it''. The reason for the separate installation is that Mumble itself does not need administrative rights to install, but the overlay does.
  
=== Ubuntu ===
+
==Linux==
  
==== Official Repository ====
+
For most Linux distributions, the client package name is ''mumble'' and the server package name is ''mumble-server'' or ''murmur''. For many Debian- and RPM-based distributions, there is ''mumble-server-web'', which is a turnkey installation of ICE for Murmur.
  
'''This is the easy way, but you won't always get the latest version.'''
+
On the popular Linux distributions, Mumble should be available in either third party repositories or the official repository. See the distribution sections below. It is also recommended, if you have a domain name, to use a trusted CA's certificate with your Mumble server, for example see [[Obtaining_a_Let's_Encrypt_Murmur_Certificate|this]] short guide about using Let's Encrypt.
  
Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04) includes the Mumble 1.1.x series in it's official repository. It's cloned from Debian testing before every Ubuntu release, so while it will lag slightly behind, it won't be by much. Just follow the directions for installing under Debian.
+
==== Debian ====
 +
{{Warning
 +
|message=Note that with the ''mumble-server'' package on Debian or Debian-based distributions, you should not start the server manually. After you install and configure it, it will start on its own.
 +
}}
 +
Debian ''unstable'' has the latest release at all times in it's repository. Backports to current stable are done as soon as the package reaches ''testing'' (usually a week after release).
  
==== PPA Repository ====
+
'''Mumble'''
 +
apt-get install mumble
 +
'''Murmur'''
 +
apt-get install mumble-server
 +
dpkg-reconfigure mumble-server
  
'''This is a bit more to type, but should always be up-to-date.'''
+
==== Ubuntu ====
  
As the packages in the official Ubuntu repository aren't always up-to-date, you can add an external PPA repository to your package manager. It should always include the newest stable version of Mumble and Murmur for i386 and amd64 architectures.
+
Ubuntu carries whatever Mumble version was current at the time of the release in the universe repository. We also maintain a [https://launchpad.net/~mumble/+archive/release PPA] ([https://launchpad.net/~mumble/+archive/release stable] and [https://launchpad.net/~mumble/+archive/snapshot dev snapshots]) that has the latest version for recent Ubuntu versions
  
You will have to manually add the repositories for the PPA repository. Go to a command prompt and type
+
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mumble/release
  sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
+
  sudo apt-get update
then add the following two lines to the bottom of the file
 
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/slicer/ubuntu hardy main
 
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/slicer/ubuntu hardy main
 
  sudo aptitude update  
 
(replace ''hardy'' with ''gutsy'' or ''intrepid'' if you are on those distributions)
 
  
Afterwards you can use the same command as for installing under Debian (see above).
+
To install the client you can use:
  
More information about the PPA repository can be found at [https://edge.launchpad.net/~slicer/+archive Launchpad]
+
sudo apt-get install mumble
  
===Fedora===
+
to install and configure the server use:
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]
 
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]
 
  
===PCLinuxOS and other RPM based distros===
+
  sudo apt-get install mumble-server
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):
+
  sudo dpkg-reconfigure mumble-server
 
 
  rpm -i mumble-1.0.0-2.i386.rpm
 
 
 
===Gentoo===
 
Depending on what other features you want compiled into it, check up on the possible USE-flags: http://www.gentoo-portage.com/media-sound/mumble/USE#ptabs
 
For most users it's useful to use the USE-flags alsa, dbus and speech - so we go with it.
 
It's well possible that the Mumble ebuild is "masked". Here, we make sure it will install anyways.
 
Become root and do:
 
echo media-sound/mumble alsa dbus speech >> /etc/portage/package.use
 
echo media-sound/mumble ~x86 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
 
  emerge -av mumble
 
That should do the magic. If something fails though, check up on [[BuildingLinux]]
 
 
 
===ArchLinux===
 
A  stable 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:
 
 
 
pacman -S alsa-lib qt4 libxevie sqlite3 boost
 
 
 
Finally, install the package:
 
 
 
pacman -A mumble-1.0.0-1.pkg.tar.gz
 
 
 
Of course, replace the package name as appropriate.
 
 
 
If you want to test a SVN Snapshoth, use this [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23369 PKGBUILD] in the [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23369 AUR]. Use [http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt Yaourt] or the instructions above.
 
 
 
==Mac OS X==
 
 
 
Precompiled Mac OS X universal binaries are available from the [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=147372 SourceForge downloads page].
 
 
 
You can also build it from source yourself if you wish. See [[BuildingMacOsX]] for more information.
 
 
 
==Snapshots==
 
 
 
If you want to get the latest snapshots for Mumble and Murmur, you can find those [http://mumble.info/snapshot/ here]. These include the latest builds of Mumble and Murmur for Windows, and static builds of Murmur for Linux.
 
  
=Post-installation tips=
+
=== RHEL (and its derivatives, such as CentOS) ===
==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==
+
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?).
===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===
+
For CentOS 6 see the [[Install CentOS6]] page.
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===
+
For CentOS 7 see the [[Install CentOS7]] page.
If you are running XP you will need to update it to SP2.
 
  
=== Murmur dies when I log out! How can I get Murmur to stay on all the time? ===
+
=== Fedora ===
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:
+
Fedora 13-21, use yum:
 +
  yum install mumble
  
instsrv.exe - A program that adds services to the Windows registry.
+
There are additional packages available as <tt>mumble-*</tt>, such as <tt>mumble-overlay</tt> and <tt>mumble-server-web</tt>. Please consult your package manager for more information.
  
srvany.exe - A program that allows any Windows application and some Windows 16-bit applications to run as a service.
+
Fedora 22+, use dnf:
 +
  dnf install mumble
  
'''The HOW-TO'''
+
The additional packages are, mumble-overlay, mumble-plugins, murmur.
  
Step 1: Gain Administrator access on the machine running Murmur.
+
=== SUSE ===
  
Step 2: Download and install the following collection of tools from Microsoft to the default directory (C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits):
+
Mumble packages are available from [http://software.opensuse.org/package/mumble software.opensuse.org].
  
[http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&displaylang=en Windows 2003 Server Resource Kit].
+
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
  
Step 3: Open a command console (Start >> Accessories >> Command Prompt).
 
  
Step 4: If you have installed to the default directory, type the following:
+
''Note: If you are asked to accept a certificate just press '''OK'''''
  
"C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\instsrv.exe" "Murmur" "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\srvany.exe"
+
''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].
  
'''Be sure to close the Services console before proceeding.'''
+
=== Arch Linux ===
 +
To install Mumble, use pacman:
 +
pacman -S mumble
  
Step 5: Open the registry editor (Start >> Run and enter "regedit") and navigate to the following key:
+
For the Mumble Server Murmur:
 +
pacman -S murmur
  
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Murmur Demo
+
There are also unstable packages on the AUR:
 +
* Mumble Unstable (updated directly from Git): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mumble-git/
 +
* Murmur Unstable (updated directly from Git): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/murmur-git/
 +
* Murmur ICE (with ICE support): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/murmur-ice/
  
 +
=== Mandriva/ROSA/Unity ===
  
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.
+
Mumble is available since 2010.0.
  
Step 7: Name this new key "Parameters"
+
urpmi mumble
  
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's best to install the package from Cooker - it has many fixes.
  
Step 9: Name this new String value "Application".
+
=== 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".
  
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.
+
== Smartphones ==
 +
Mumble is currently being ported/reimplemented for various mobile phone platforms.
  
Step 11: Close Regedit
+
=== Android ===
 
+
Plumble is an unofficial client made by Morlunk.
Step 12: Open the Services console. Navigate to your service, and right click it and select Properties.
 
 
 
Step 13: Make sure the Startup Type value is Automatic, and then press the Start button.
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
If your server did not start, recheck your settings. Most problems are related to typos in configuration settings.

Revision as of 13:13, 1 July 2018

This page shows you directions on how to install and use Mumble (client) and Murmur (server). For complete usage information, see Mumbleguide, Murmurguide, and/or the respective subsections on the main page.

Getting and Installing Mumble and Murmur

Windows

Download and run the latest MSI installer (mumble-1.x.x.msi) from the GitHub releases page. The installer will guide you through installation and configuration of Mumble. This installer can also optionally install Murmur (Mumble server).

For Win2000 see Tips Tricks

Mac OS X

Precompiled Mac OS X universal binaries are available from the GitHub releases page.

Note that the official releases of Mumble 1.2.x are not currently compatible with Mac OS X 10.4, but you can try the experimental snapshots found here warning: use at your own risk; these have not been thoroughly tested, and may have bugs.

In order to be able to use the Overlay it has to be installed separately. To install it launch Mumble, go into Mumbles settings into the Overlay section and you should see an option to install it. The reason for the separate installation is that Mumble itself does not need administrative rights to install, but the overlay does.

Linux

For most Linux distributions, the client package name is mumble and the server package name is mumble-server or murmur. For many Debian- and RPM-based distributions, there is mumble-server-web, which is a turnkey installation of ICE for Murmur.

On the popular Linux distributions, Mumble should be available in either third party repositories or the official repository. See the distribution sections below. It is also recommended, if you have a domain name, to use a trusted CA's certificate with your Mumble server, for example see this short guide about using Let's Encrypt.

Debian

Icons oxygen 48x48 status task-attention.png
Warning: Note that with the mumble-server package on Debian or Debian-based distributions, you should not start the server manually. After you install and configure it, it will start on its own.

Debian unstable has the latest release at all times in it's repository. Backports to current stable are done as soon as the package reaches testing (usually a week after release).

Mumble

apt-get install mumble

Murmur

apt-get install mumble-server
dpkg-reconfigure mumble-server

Ubuntu

Ubuntu carries whatever Mumble version was current at the time of the release in the universe repository. We also maintain a PPA (stable and dev snapshots) that has the latest version for recent Ubuntu versions

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mumble/release
sudo apt-get update

To install the client you can use:

sudo apt-get install mumble

to install and configure the server use:

sudo apt-get install mumble-server
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mumble-server

RHEL (and its derivatives, such as CentOS)

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?).

For CentOS 6 see the Install CentOS6 page.

For CentOS 7 see the Install CentOS7 page.

Fedora

Fedora 13-21, use yum:

 yum install mumble

There are additional packages available as mumble-*, such as mumble-overlay and mumble-server-web. Please consult your package manager for more information.

Fedora 22+, use dnf:

 dnf install mumble

The additional packages are, mumble-overlay, mumble-plugins, murmur.

SUSE

Mumble packages are available from software.opensuse.org.

You can follow these steps while running openSUSE:

  1. Open a web browser and go to software.opensuse.org/package/mumble
  2. Assuming you're running 32bit, click on 1-Click Install located at the first result
  3. When asked to download a file, tell your browser you want to open the file
  4. Once YaST is opened, click Next (leave defaults), then Next again, and again
  5. Enter your root password if asked; Mumble will now download
  6. Click Finish
  7. To run Mumble:
    1. Open the Kickoff application launcher and type mumble, then --> Run mumble
    2. Or: open a terminal and type mumble and press enter


Note: If you are asked to accept a certificate just press OK

Note: Latest mumble version can usually be found at opensuse.org under "Show other versions" either at "openSUSE Factory" or under "Show unstable packages" of your openSUSE version.

Some packages can also be found in the Build Service.

Arch Linux

To install Mumble, use pacman:

pacman -S mumble

For the Mumble Server Murmur:

pacman -S murmur

There are also unstable packages on the AUR:

Mandriva/ROSA/Unity

Mumble is available since 2010.0.

urpmi mumble

It's best to install the package from Cooker - it has many fixes.

Others

If all of the above options fail to work, you can always try compiling Mumble from source, however installing a package is considered "best practice".

Smartphones

Mumble is currently being ported/reimplemented for various mobile phone platforms.

Android

Plumble is an unofficial client made by Morlunk.

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.

You can download it on Google Play or F-Droid.

iPhone

The Mumble iOS client is available on the App Store.

You can find more information about the iOS client from the mumble-iphoneos GitHub repo. Any help with the project is always appreciated.

Maemo (Nokia)

Maemo builds can be found here. These builds are unsupported, as they were not made by official Mumble developers. That does not, of course, mean you shouldn't use them; it just means there's no guarantee we can help you if you have a problem.
