Installing / upgrading

Binaries

• Latest stable release v1.24.0
• Development releases (follows master) can be downloaded here selecting the latest green build and then artifacts.

To install or upgrade just download the latest binary. On *nix platforms you may need to make the binary executable - you can do this by running chmod a+x on the binary (example: chmod a+x matterbridge-1.20.0-linux-64bit). After downloading (and making the binary executable, if necessary), follow the instructions on the howto for a step by step walkthrough for creating your configuration.

Packages

• Overview
• snap
• scoop

Building

Most people just want to use binaries, you can find those here

If you really want to build from source, follow these instructions: Go 1.17+ is required. Make sure you have Go properly installed.

To install the latest stable run:

go install github.com/42wim/matterbridge

To install the latest dev run:

go install github.com/42wim/matterbridge@master

You should now have matterbridge binary in the ~/go/bin directory:

$ ls ~/go/bin/
matterbridge

Configuration
