Mumble (Client)

Installation

Download Mumble from our website.

To install Mumble, drag the application from the downloaded disk image into your /Applications folder.

Some more information can be found in our wiki.

Overlay

In order to be able to use the Overlay it has to be installed separately. To install it: launch Mumble, go into Mumble's settings -> Overlay section and you should see an option to install it.

Info: The reason for the separate installation is that Mumble itself does not need administrative rights to install, but the overlay does.

Start

Start Mumble via your Start Menu.

On first start of Mumble, a short Settings wizard (for Audio settings, certificate creation etc.) will start automatically.

Configuration

Take a look at the Client Configuration Guide.

Mumble Server (Murmur)

Installation

The Mumble Server (Murmur) is distributed separately from the Mumble client on MacOS. It is called Static macOS Server and can be downloaded from our website.

Configuration

Take a look at the Server Configuration Guide.

Start

The Mumble Server should be run from the command line, so start a shell (command prompt) and go to wherever you installed Mumble. Run the Mumble Server with:

  1. Set the SuperUser (Server Admin) password:
murmurd -supw <password>
  1. Start the server:

Note: Flags are optional (see below). The standard configuration file used, is murmur.ini in the same directory.

murmurd [flag]

Flags:

murmurd [-supw <password>] [-ini <inifile>] [-fg] [v]

-supw   Set a new password for the SuperUser (Server Admin). Keep this password safe. Mumble Server will stop after this command.

-ini    Use a specific inifile. You can also use this to run several instances
        of murmur from the same directory. Make sure each instance is using a separate database.

-fg     Run in the foreground, logging to standard output.

-v      More verbose logging.
  1. Login & administrate the Server: See Server Configuration Guide for details.
