Installing / upgrading

Binaries

• Latest stable release v1.26.0
• 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-1.24.1-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 1.18+ is required. Make sure you have Go properly installed.

Building the binary with all the bridges enabled needs about 3GB RAM to compile. You can reduce this memory requirement to 0,5GB RAM by adding the nomsteams tag if you don't need/use the Microsoft Teams bridge.

Matterbridge can be build without gcc/c-compiler: If you're running on windows first run set CGO_ENABLED=0 on other platforms you prepend CGO_ENABLED=0 to the go build command. (eg CGO_ENABLED=0 go install github.com/42wim/matterbridge)

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

To install the latest stable run without msteams or zulip bridge:

go install -tags nomsteams,nozulip github.com/42wim/matterbridge

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

$ ls ~/go/bin/
matterbridge

Building with whatsapp (beta) multidevice support

Because the library we use for Whatsapp multidevice support includes a GPL3 library we can not provide you binaries. (as this would require the Matterbridge to change it license to GPL)

Matterbridge can be build without gcc/c-compiler: If you're running on windows first run set CGO_ENABLED=0 on other platforms you prepend CGO_ENABLED=0 to the
