## Installing
2019-03-30 20:34:40 +00:00
See <https://mosquitto.org/download/> for details on installing binaries for
2016-07-05 20:38:57 +00:00
various platforms.
## Quick start
If you have installed a binary package the broker should have been started
automatically. If not, it can be started with a basic configuration:
mosquitto
Then use `mosquitto_sub` to subscribe to a topic:
mosquitto_sub -t 'test/topic' -v
And to publish a message:
mosquitto_pub -t 'test/topic' -m 'hello world'
## Documentation
Documentation for the broker, clients and client library API can be found in
2019-03-30 20:34:40 +00:00
the man pages, which are available online at <https://mosquitto.org/man/>. There
2016-07-05 20:38:57 +00:00
are also pages with an introduction to the features of MQTT, the
`mosquitto_passwd` utility for dealing with username/passwords, and a
description of the configuration file options available for the broker.
2019-03-30 20:34:40 +00:00
Detailed client library API documentation can be found at <https://mosquitto.org/api/>
2016-07-05 20:38:57 +00:00
## Building from source
To build from source the recommended route for end users is to download the
2019-03-30 20:34:40 +00:00
archive from <https://mosquitto.org/download/>.
2016-07-05 20:38:57 +00:00
On Windows and Mac, use `cmake` to build. On other platforms, just run `make`
to build. For Windows, see also `readme-windows.txt`.
2016-07-05 20:38:57 +00:00
If you are building from the git repository then the documentation will not
already be built. Use `make binary` to skip building the man pages, or install
`docbook-xsl` on Debian/Ubuntu systems.
### Build Dependencies
* c-ares (libc-ares-dev on Debian based systems) - only when compiled with `make WITH_SRV=yes`
* libwebsockets (libwebsockets-dev) - enable with `make WITH_WEBSOCKETS=yes`
2016-07-05 20:38:57 +00:00
* openssl (libssl-dev on Debian based systems) - disable with `make WITH_TLS=no`
2018-01-12 13:45:37 +00:00
* xsltproc (xsltproc and docbook-xsl on Debian based systems) - only needed when building from git sources - disable with `make WITH_DOCS=no`
* uthash / utlist - bundled versions of these headers are provided, disable their use with `make WITH_BUNDLED_DEPS=no`
Equivalent options for enabling/disabling features are available when using the CMake build.
