Windows:

Download and run one of the installers:

  • AudioBookConverter Single User - program will be installed only for current user (No admin rights required)
  • AudioBookConverter All Users - program will be installed for all users (elevated privileges are required)
  • AudioBookConverter Portable - this is just self extracting archive with program (Does not require installation)
  • Chocolaty: choco install AudioBookConverter (Due to long chocolaty review process, new versions will appear with delay)

MacOS X:

Note: For MacOS you may need to change your security settings as this build is not signed.

Before installing on MacOS X you need to do following actions: 0. You no longer need to install home brew and components from it, they are now embedded into the build.

  1. Download application and install it to Applications

  2. On latest version of MacOS due to changed security process, you may need to run this application from console and grant console security permissions. If MacOS tells you that application is broken and needs to be moved into bin, cancel this and do the following.

  3. Open Terminal enter commands

cd /Applications/AudiobookConverter.app

./Contents/MacOS/AudiobookConverter

Your MacOS could ask you for permission and you need to grant them.

Debian/Ubuntu:

Ubuntu 18 and earlier Install ffmpeg and mp4v2-utils:

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg mp4v2-utils

Download package and run:

dpkg -i AudioBookConverter-xxx.deb

Ubuntu 20 and later Please download static build and install it manually. Ubuntu 20 stopped support of mp4v2 package due to unsupported dependency. So, current approach for later versions of ubuntu and other recent linux distribtion to use static build
