How to Install Mumble on OpenBSD

Mumble is a free and open-source application used for real-time voice chat. In this tutorial, we'll learn how to install Mumble on OpenBSD, an open-source operating system.

Step 1: Update the System

Before installing Mumble, we need to update the OpenBSD system to make sure we have the latest software packages. To update the system, open a terminal and run the following command:

sudo pkg_add -u

This command will update all installed software packages on the system.

Step 2: Install Mumble

Once the system is updated, we can now install Mumble. To install Mumble, we can use the pkg_add command as follows:

sudo pkg_add mumble

This command will download and install Mumble and all its dependencies.

Step 3: Configure Mumble

Now that Mumble is installed, we need to configure it. This can be done by running the Mumble client using the following command:

mumble

This command will start the Mumble client interface.

Next, we need to configure our audio settings. From the Mumble client interface, click on the “Configure” button and select “Settings.”

Under the “Audio Input” tab, make sure that the correct input device is selected. Then, under the “Audio Output” tab, make sure that the correct output device is selected.

Once you have configured your audio settings, you can connect to a server by clicking on the “Server” button and selecting “Connect.”
