Installing Mumble

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

Mumble:
Download the latest stable version of Mumble from the Official Website.
The installer will guide you through the installation and configuration of Mumble.

Alternatively you can download and run the latest MSI installer (mumble-1.x.x.msi; "winx64" for the 64-bit version) from the GitHub releases page.
Note: Releases that include the term "RC" are Release Candidates and therefore Test Versions.

For Windows 2000 see: Tips & Tricks

Mumble-Server (aka Murmur):
The Mumble-Installer includes an option to install the Mumble-Server.

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

Warning: Note that the mumble-server package on Debian and Debian-based distributions will start automatically on system-start.

Mumble:

apt-get install mumble

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

Ubuntu carries whatever Mumble version was current at the time of the release in the universe repository.
