Debian packages
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.

- MKVToolnix is a set of tools to create, alter and inspect Matroska files. With these tools one can get information about (mkvinfo) Matroska files, extract tracks/data from (mkvextract) Matroska files and create (mkvmerge) Matroska files from other media files.
- 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. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 'Bionic Beaver' & Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 'Xenial': you can still get versions up to v53.0.0 (for 18.04) and v38.0.0 (for 16.04) from my repositories.
- MKVToolNix works fine with its GUI but also in the terminal on macOS. The raw apps are just hidden in the app itself. To access them Right click the MKVToolNix in /Applications and click Show Package Contents; from there goto./Contents/MacOS or./Contents/Resources to find the MKVToolNix binaries (sorry I cannot check the exact path.
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
You can access the packages by adding the lines below to a file such as /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mkvtoolnix.download.list
:
One thing I would add is to make sure you use MKVToolNix after you are done to fix your chapter names. Otherwise you will have chapters that look like 1-30 and then 1-28 (so after 30 isn’t 31, but 1 again). Easy to fix in the same tool, just use the chapter editor to rename the chapters and save when done. Not critical, but was driving me crazy.
