As of Jamulus 3.5.4 THIS PAGE IS OUT OF DATE.

For current releases, please refer to server instructions here.

Following instructions are for Jamulus <= 3.5.3

Please ensure you have read the server overview

After installing Jamulus, you can run it in your chosen server mode using the Terminal program to call Jamulus with the -s option as follows:

  1. First, quit Jamulus if it is already running.

  2. Start a Terminal session.

  3. You will need to know the full path to the Jamulus application (example below) so that you can run the following command. It must be all on one line:

/Applications/Jamulus.app/Contents/MacOS/Jamulus -s

Hit return to start the server. It automatically registers at the official central server. Just type in the name, city and country so that other users can easily identify you. Please also see this important note on Central Servers.

You can stop the server by quitting the server window, or by typing CTRL+C in the Terminal.

If you want to run a client on the same machine, FIRST start Jamulus as you would normally (it will be in client mode). THEN start your server as above. Note that you should connect the client to 127.0.0.1 in this case for best performance.
