Installation

You can download and install MQTTX from several sources:

  1. MQTTX Official Website Download Page provides direct access to download and installation.
  2. EMQ Official Website Download Page also hosts MQTTX for download and installation.
  3. Alternatively, you can select your preferred version from the GitHub Releases page.

If you're experiencing slow network speed or latency issues when downloading from GitHub, we recommend using the MQTTX official homepage or the EMQ official download page instead.

For additional released versions, you can visit our More Downloads page. Select and install the version that best suits your needs.

Note: We strongly recommend downloading the latest version whenever possible to ensure the best user experience.

macOS

We offer two distinct versions of the MQTTX installer for macOS users, one for Intel Chip and another for Apple Silicon. Please select the version that is compatible with your current hardware configuration.

Alternatively, you can download MQTTX from Apple's Mac App Store.

NOTE: Currently, due to the App Store review process, the version on the App Store is limited to version 1.6.0. We are working to resolve this issue and will continue to update the version accordingly.

Download on the Mac App Store

When it comes to installing MQTTX, we recommend downloading the dmg format installation package. Alternatively, you can download the mac.zip compressed file which can be decompressed and used quickly.

Note: Please be aware that for certain macOS system versions, specifically 10.15.2, there may be issues opening the zip compressed file after decompression. As a result, we advise users to prioritize downloading the dmg file.

For macOS users who prefer using the command line, MQTTX can also be installed via brew cask:

brew install --cask mqttx

Windows

For Windows users, we provide installation packages for 32-bit, 64-bit, and ARM64 architectures. Please choose the version compatible with your current hardware.

We recommend Windows users to download the latest exe file. Once downloaded, you can follow the Setup instructions for installation.

Linux

For Linux users, we provide installation packages for x86 64-bit and ARM64 architectures. Please select the version that matches your current hardware.

Linux users can directly visit Flathub to download and install MQTTX:

Alternatively, use the flatpak command to quickly install and start MQTTX:

For those who prefer manual installation, download the latest AppImage, deb, or rpm files according to your specific Linux operating system.

Ubuntu

For Ubuntu Snap Store users, currently, only the x86 64-bit installer is available.

Ubuntu users typically use snap files for installation. The snap format installers can be downloaded from the Snap Store:
