I provide binaries for AlmaLinux 9.x. You can get RPMs for MKVToolNix from my repository. First you have to add that repository with the following command:
sudo rpm -Uhv https://mkvtoolnix.download/almalinux/bunkus-org-repo-2-4.noarch.rpm
Then you can install MKVToolNix with the following command:
sudo dnf install mkvtoolnix mkvtoolnix-gui
You can also browse the download directories where you can find packages for older versions of AlmaLinux: almalinux/.
I'm providing a distribution-agnostic AppImage for Linux. It should run on Linux distributions that come with glibc 2.28 or later.
You can download the current AppImage from here. Older releases and continuous builds can be found here.
Don't forget to make the downloaded file executable afterwards.
Starting the AppImage will launch MKVToolNix GUI. If you want to run one of the command-line tools, you can do so as well: by symlinking the AppImage to the tool's name. Here's an example using mkvpropedit to change a movie's title:
If you need an AppImage that runs on even older version, get the AppImage for v77. Until that version the AppImages were built on an older distribution with an older glibc (CentOS 7 with glibc 2.17).
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-cli mkvtoolnix-gui
You can also view the package sites for libebml, libmatroska and MKVToolNix.
I provide binaries for CentOS 9 Stream that might work on RedHat Enterprise Linux, too. You can get RPMs for MKVToolNix from my yum repository. First you can add that yum repository with the following command:
sudo rpm -Uhv https://mkvtoolnix.download/centosstream/bunkus-org-repo-2-4.noarch.rpm
Then you can install MKVToolNix with the following command:
sudo dnf install mkvtoolnix mkvtoolnix-gui
You can also browse the download directories for packages for older versions of CentOS: centosstream/.
I provide i386/amd64/arm64/armhf binaries for MKVToolNix for Debian 12 "Bookworm" (the current stable). The arm64 and armhf binaries can be used on Raspberry Pi OS (formerly Raspbian).
You first have to import my public GPG key because all of my pools are signed. Run this once:
sudo wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg https://mkvtoolnix.download/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg
You can access the packages by adding the lines below to a file such as /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mkvtoolnix.download.list
:
Version | APT source |
---|---|
Debian 12 (aka "Bookworm") |
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg] https://mkvtoolnix.download/debian/ bookworm main deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg] https://mkvtoolnix.download/debian/ bookworm main |
Now simply run sudo apt update
followed by sudo apt install mkvtoolnix mkvtoolnix-gui
.
If updating the package lists fails, make sure you have the package apt-transport-https
installed.
A note on compiling for Debian 11: you have to install the clang
package for the clang compiler which is used due to a
bug in the gcc version shipped with Debian 11.
Older Debian versions: the repositories for older releases still exist but aren't updated anymore:
Version | APT source |
---|---|
Debian 11 (aka "Bullseye") |
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg] https://mkvtoolnix.download/debian/ bullseye main deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg] https://mkvtoolnix.download/debian/ bullseye main |
Debian 10 (aka "Buster") |
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg] https://mkvtoolnix.download/debian/ buster main deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg] https://mkvtoolnix.download/debian/ buster main |
If you're looking for older Debian or MKVToolNix releases, you can look through the repository directory yourself.
Jocelyn Le Sage is maintaining a Docker image for MKVToolNix GUI that can also be run on machines such as Synology or Unraid NAS systems. Please see the full documentation Jocelyn provides for details how to run the image and how to solve issues such as problems with file permission due to differing user IDs inside and outside the container.
If you're having issues with the Docker image, please file a bug report in Jocelyn's GitHub repository. I do not offer support for this Docker image myself.
I host x86_64 packages for Fedora 39 & 40 of MKVToolNix in dnf repositories.
In order to add the repository all you have to do is to execute the following two commands:
sudo rpm -Uhv https://mkvtoolnix.download/fedora/bunkus-org-repo-2-4.noarch.rpm
Afterwards you can install MKVToolNix with the following command:
sudo dnf install mkvtoolnix mkvtoolnix-gui
My GPG key's ID is 16D2F5DC 10C052A6, and the fingerprint is EB24 BCA1 4BA6 A24F 1427 6FEE 16D2 F5DC 10C0 52A6.
You can also browse the download directories for your version: Fedora 39 and Fedora 40.
Fedora 13–38: 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.
Flatpak images are available over on FlatHub.org.
After installing Flatpak itself, you can download and run the current version with the following commands:
flatpak install flathub org.bunkus.mkvtoolnix-gui
flatpak run org.bunkus.mkvtoolnix-gui
If you want to run one of the command-line tools, you can do so as well. In general the syntax looks like this:
flatpak run org.bunkus.mkvtoolnix-gui <executable> <command line arguments>
The "executable" can be either the full name such as "mkvmerge" or their shortened form without the "mkv" prefix, e.g. "merge".
Running the command-line applications also works on headless servers without a graphical user interface even though the Flatpak's name includes "gui" in its name.
Here's an example using mkvpropedit to change a movie's title:
flatpak run org.bunkus.mkvtoolnix-gui propedit my-movie.mkv --set title="This is super cool movie"
An alternative for versions prior to v65 is to specify the command to execute with flatpak's --command=<executable>
argument. Here's the example from above with this syntax:
flatpak run --command=mkvpropedit org.bunkus.mkvtoolnix-gui my-movie.mkv --set title="This is super cool movie"

Now simply run sudo apt update
followed by sudo apt install mkvtoolnix mkvtoolnix-gui
.
Note: I don't own a Mac. While I do provide binaries I do not offer support for macOS. I don't use that platform, have no programming experience with it whatsoever, and I have neither the time nor the motivation to hunt down issues on it.
At the moment you have two options apart from building the applications yourself:
Newer versions of MKVToolNix require newer versions of macOS to run due to Apple supporting certain required libraries only with certain macOS versions. Here's a table listing the first MKVToolNix version that required a specific version of macOS:
MKVToolNix version | minimum required macOS version |
---|---|
54.0.0 | 10.15 "Catalina" |
42.0.0 | 10.14 "Mojave" |
9.8.0 | 10.09 "Mavericks" |
You can download all versions here.
Götz Waschk is so kind as to build RPM packages for Mageia (formerly Mandriva). The current version is in the Cauldron distribution. The repository for the stable version might only contain an outdated version of MKVToolNix.
You can find MKVToolNix and its GUI in the pkgsrc tree as multimedia/mkvtoolnix and multimedia/mmg, maintained by Lubomir Sedlacik.
You can find MKVToolNix and its GUI in
official
"extra" repository. After adding the repository to
your list of publishers you can install MKVToolNix with pkg
install mkvtoolnix
.
Up to date packages of MKVToolNix for Tumbleweed & Leap are availalble on the Open Build Service. Usually it only takes a couple of hours from the release of a new version until packages have been built there.
You can use the Debian binaries on Raspberry Pi OS. They're available for the armhf platform the Raspberry Pi uses as well.
Please note that I used to host a Raspbian-specific repository here. This repository was removed with release 68.0.0 in favor of the Debian repository.
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.
I offer packages for the following architectures: amd64 (all releases), armhf & arm64 (these two only for 22.04 and newer).

MKVToolNix is available on the Microsoft Store for a small fee. This is a way for you to support the development financially while getting automatic updates in return. Please note that due to Microsoft's Store policies you cannot run the command-line tools of the Store edition of MKVToolNix yourself; you can only run the GUI. Otherwise the Store edition & the non-Store ones are functionally identical. If you have more questions, please see this FAQ entry.
If you're using the Chocolatey package manager, you can also install or upgrade MKVToolNix with Chocolatey by
running choco install mkvtoolnix
respectively choco upgrade mkvtoolnix
from the PowerShell. They're usually pretty quick to
update.
All Windows builds for older versions are available on my site.
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
.
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.
