Debian packages
MKVToolNix, is a set of tools (e.g. Mkvmerge gui, mkvinfo) to create, alter and inspect Matroska files under Linux. As both Matroska and MKVToolNix are under heavy development here’s how to install the latest release from its official repository and keep it up-to-date through Software Updater. MKVToolNix is a toolset, which means that there is more than one. To be fair, there are three, but soon only two will remain. If you install it right now, you’ll find MKVToolNix GUI, mkvinfo, and mkvmerge GUI. Mkvmerge is part of MKVToolNix tools, MKVToolNix is a set of tools to create, alter and inspect Matroska files under Linux, other Unix and Windows. All of the steps we will be doing will be done on Linux running Fedora 21. Step 1 – Install Needed Applications.
Mkvmerge Install Windows
I provide i386 and Amd64 binaries for MKVToolNix for Debian 10 'buster' (the current stable).
I do not provide binaries for libEBML and libMatroska anymore as they're already part of the official distribution. If those are too old MKVToolNix even bundles the current version of both libraries.
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
Install Mkvmerge Ubuntu 16.04
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 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 |
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.
Debian 8 'Jessie' and 9 'stretch': you can get versions up to v38.0.0 (for Stretch) and v29.0.0 (for Jessie) from my repositories.

If you're looking for older Debian or MKVToolNix releases, you can look through the repository directory yourself.
