Arch Linux

Giovanni Scafora is maintaining packages for libebml, libmatroska and MKVToolNix in Arch's [extra] repository. You can install MKVToolNix with the simple command pacman -S mkvtoolnix

You can also view the package sites for libebml, libmatroska and MKVToolNix.

CentOS 5.6 and RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.6

I used to host binaries of MKVToolNix up to v5.0.1 for CentOS. Due to new requirements in the source code v5.1.0 later require a gcc version of 4.6.0 or newer. CentOS only ships with gcc 4.4.x. Therefore I don't provide binaries for CentOS anymore.

You can still get older versions of MKVToolNix from my yum repository though. First you can add that yum repository with the following command:

sudo rpm -Uhv http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/centos/bunkus-org-repo-1-2.noarch.rpm

My packages depend on some other packages from the EPEL project. Therefore you also need to enable the EPEL repository by issuing the following command:

sudo rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

Last you can install MKVToolNix with the following command:

sudo yum install mkvtoolnix

If you want to compile MKVToolNix yourself then also install libebml and libmatroska with the following command:

sudo yum install libebml-devel libmatroska-devel

You can also browse the download directories for your version: CentOS/RedHat 5.6.

Debian packages

I provide i386 and Amd64 binaries for MKVToolNix for Debian testing (wheezy). Binaries for libebml-dev and libmatroska-dev are already part of the current Debian/stable (squeeze), but I usually provide the latest version in my local apt repository because those are often needed for building MKVToolNix.

You first have to import my public GPG key because all of my pools are signed. Run this once: wget -O - http://www.bunkus.org/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.txt | sudo apt-key add -.

You can access the packages by adding the appropriate lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

Now simply run apt-get update followed by apt-get install mkvtoolnix mkvtoolnix-gui. Note that you only need the MKVToolNix packages as the libraries are linked statically. If you want to write your own tools you can also install libebml-dev and libmatroska-dev as well.

Debian Lenny and Debian Squeeze: I don't provide current binaries for these distributions anymore. You can still get the last version provided by adding these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

Fedora Core 15 - 16

I host i386/i686 and x86_64 binaries for Fedora Core 15 - 16 of MKVToolNix. Fedora Core 4 and newer already contains libebml and libmatroska packages. However I also provide packages for both libraries if they're newer than the official ones because they're needed if you want to compile MKVToolNix yourself.

I provide yum repositories for all the packages. All you have to do is execute the following two commands:

sudo rpm -Uhv http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/fedora/bunkus-org-repo-1-2.noarch.rpm

sudo yum install mkvtoolnix

If you want to compile MKVToolNix yourself then also install libebml and libmatroska with the following command:

sudo yum install libebml-devel libmatroska-devel

You can also browse the download directories for your version: Fedora Core 15 and Fedora Core 16.

Fedora Core 9 - 14: I don't provide updated binary packages for current MKVToolNix versions for these distributions anymore. However, older binary packages can still be found in the download directories.

FreeBSD

You can find MKVToolNix and its GUI as a port on freshports.org.

Gentoo

Thanks to Martin Holzer Gentoo does already contain ebuilds for MKVToolNix which you can simply install.

MacOS X 10.x

Note: I don't own a Mac nor do I have access to one. Therefore I do not support the binary packages available below as they were all contributed by third parties.

Current versions of MKVToolNix are supplied by the MacPorts project. At the moment v5.0.1 is available there. You have to install MacPorts itself. Afterwards installing MKVToolNix is as easy as typing sudo port install mkvtoolnix.

Older binaries were provided by other users and are available here in case the MacPorts version does not work.

Thanks to JonThn from the doom9 forum there's a universal (32/64bits) package for Leopard/Snow Leopard for MKVToolNix v5.2.0. You can get it from his homepage. Some older versions for Leopard (Intel only) may be available as well.

In case of trouble you can find older binaries of MKVToolNix in the macosx directory.

Mandriva

Götz Waschk is so kind as to build RPM packages for Mandriva (formerly Mandrake) You can get them from Easy URPMI. In order to get the current version you have to add the Cooker contribs package source. The contribs source for the stable version might only contain an outdated version of MKVToolNix.

NetBSD

You can find MKVToolNix and its GUI in the pkgsrc tree as multimedia/mkvtoolnix and multimedia/mmg, maintained by Lubomir Sedlacik.

OpenIndiana

You can find MKVToolNix and its GUI in official "extra" repository. After adding the rpository to your list of publishers you can install MKVToolNix with pkg install mkvtoolnix.

openSUSE 12.x

Here are some binaries and source RPMs for MKVToolNix for openSUSE 12.1. openSUSE already contains libebml and libmatroska packages. However I also provide packages for both libraries if they're newer than the official ones because they're needed if you want to compile MKVToolNix yourself.

Pick what you need from this download matrix:

RPMs:

Source RPMs:

Thanks to the work of Stefan Seyfried RPMs for SuSE 9.2 and newer including openSUSE are available for various architectures from the SuSE FTP server or from one of its mirrors.

Older versions: I don't provide updated binary packages for MKVToolNix for versions up to and including openSUSE 11.4. Older versions can still be found in the download directories for each distribution: openSUSE 11.0, openSUSE 11.1, openSUSE 11.2, openSUSE 11.3, openSUSE 11.4.

Slackware

A way to get MKVToolNix running on the latest Slackware is to download the build script available on Slackbuilds.org and running it. It will do everything for you. This script was provided by Andrew Strong.

Ubuntu "Oneiric Ocelot"

I provide i386 and Amd64 binaries for MKVToolNix. Binaries for libebml-dev and libmatroska-dev have been part of Ubuntu since "Gutsy Gibbon", but I usually provide the latest version in my local apt repository because those are often needed for building MKVToolNix.

You first have to import my public GPG key because all of my pools are signed. Run this once: wget -O - http://www.bunkus.org/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.txt | sudo apt-key add -.

You can get the package by adding the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

Now simply run apt-get update followed by apt-get install mkvtoolnix mkvtoolnix-gui. Note that you only need the MKVToolNix packages as the libraries are linked statically. If you want to write your own tools you can also install libebml-dev and libmatroska-dev as well.

9.10 "Karmic Koala", 10.04 "Lucid Lync", 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat", 11.04 "Natty Narwhal": I don't provide updated binary packages for current MKVToolNix versions for these distributions. However, older versions can still be installed by adding these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list and following the instructions above:

Version	APT source
9.10 "Karmic Koala"	deb http://www.bunkus.org/ubuntu/karmic/ ./ deb-src http://www.bunkus.org/ubuntu/karmic/ ./
10.04 "Lucid Lynx"	deb http://www.bunkus.org/ubuntu/lucid/ ./ deb-src http://www.bunkus.org/ubuntu/lucid/ ./
10.10 "Maverick Meerkat"	deb http://www.bunkus.org/ubuntu/maverick/ ./ deb-src http://www.bunkus.org/ubuntu/maverick/ ./
11.04 "Natty Narwhal"	deb http://www.bunkus.org/ubuntu/natty/ ./ deb-src http://www.bunkus.org/ubuntu/natty/ ./

Windows

Thanks to Cygwin and MinGW there are binaries for Windows available. The current version v5.2.1 is available as an installer and as a 7zip archive.

All releases are available from the download directory.

Please note that starting with v2.3.0 I do not provide binaries for non-Unicode enabled versions of Windows (95, 98, ME, NT). You can still download the non-Unicode version 2.2.0.

Zenwalk Linux

Frédéric Boulet is maintaining packages for libebml, libmatroska and MKVToolNix in Zenwalk's [extra] repository. You can install MKVToolNix with the simple command netpkg mkvtoolnix or with the graphical utility xnetpkg.

Others

Unfortunately I do not have access to other distributions and cannot provide binaries for other distributions. If you're interested in providing binary packages for other distributions then please contact me. You'll find my email address on the contact page.
