💽 Installation
Download from GitHub Releases and install it.
Windows
It is recommended to install Motrix using the installation package (Motrix-Setup-x.y.z.exe) to ensure a complete experience, such as associating torrent files, capturing magnet links, etc.
If you use package management tools to manage applications on Windows, such as Chocolatey, scoop. You can use them to install Motrix.
Chocolatey
Thanks to @Yato for continuing to maintain the Motrix Chocolatey package. To install motrix, run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
choco install motrix
choco upgrade motrix
scoop
If you prefer the portable version, you can use scoop (need Windows 7+) to install Motrix.
scoop bucket add extras
scoop install motrix
macOS
The macOS users can install Motrix using brew, thanks to PR of @Mitscherlich.
brew update && brew install motrix
Auto Update
Since Motrix v1.8.0 and later versions changed the App BundleID ( net.agalwood.Motrix => app.motrix.native ), the automatic update of Motrix v1.6.11 will fail. Motrix Install Assistant will help you install the latest Motrix application.
Linux
You can download the AppImage (for all Linux distributions) or snap to install Motrix, see GitHub/release for more Linux installation package formats.
Motrix may need to run with sudo for the first time in Linux because there is no permission to create the download session file (/var/cache/aria2.session).
If you want to build from source code, please read the Build section.
AppImage
The latest version of Motrix AppImage requires you to manually perform desktop integration. Please check the documentation of AppImageLauncher .
Desktop Integration
Since electron-builder 21 desktop integration is not a part of produced AppImage file.
AppImageLauncher is the recommended way to integrate AppImages.
