### Installation
On Linux or MacOS run the command below to install Swing Music:
```sh
curl -fsSL https://setup.swingmx.com | bash
```
To run Swing Music on Windows, download the portable build from the [downloads page](https://swingmx.com/downloads.html) and run it.
The app should start at <http://localhost:1970> by default. Open the URL in your browser to configure and use Swing Music.
> [!TIP]
> To stream your music from your Android device, download the [Android mobile client](https://github.com/swingmx/android).
#### Using Docker Compose
Here's a sample Docker compose file:
```yaml
services:
swingmusic:
image: ghcr.io/swingmx/swingmusic:latest
container_name: swingmusic
ports:
- "1970:1970"
volumes:
- /path/to/music:/music
- /path/to/config:/config
environment:
- SWINGMUSIC_PORT=1970
- SWINGMUSIC_DEVICE_NAME=Host name here
restart: unless-stopped
```
The `SWINGMUSIC_DEVICE_NAME` sets the name this server reports to connected clients. To use a different port, change both `SWINGMUSIC_PORT` and the `ports` mapping to match (e.g. `2001:2001` with `SWINGMUSIC_PORT=2001`).
### Using Docker CLI
```sh
docker pull ghcr.io/swingmx/swingmusic:latest
```
Then run:
```sh
docker run --name swingmusic -p 1970:1970 -e SWINGMUSIC_PORT=1970 -e SWINGMUSIC_DEVICE_NAME="Host Name Here" -v /path/to/music:/music -v /path/to/config:/config --restart unless-stopped ghcr.io/swingmx/swingmusic:latest
```
Replace the following with appropriate values:
1. `/path/to/music` - Your music directory on the host
2. `/path/to/config` - Path to create Swing Music configs on the host
3. `Host Name Here` - Your host device name
You can change the Swing Music port by updating both the `-p` mapping and `SWINGMUSIC_PORT` to the same value (e.g. `-p 2001:2001 -e SWINGMUSIC_PORT=2001`).
### Options
Options flags can be passed when starting the app in the terminal to tweak runtime settings or perform tasks. You can use the `-h` flag to see all supported options.
> [!TIP]
> You can read more about options in [the docs](https://swingmusic.vercel.app/guide/getting-started.html#options).
