MuWire is an easy to use file-sharing program which offers anonymity using I2P technology. It works on any platform Java works on, including Windows,MacOS,Linux.
The current stable release - 0.6.8 is avaiable for download at https://muwire.com. The latest plugin build and instructions how to install the plugin are available inside I2P at http://muwire.i2p.
You can find technical documentation in the doc folder. Also check out the Wiki for various other documentation.
You need JDK 9 or newer. After installing that and setting up the appropriate paths, just type
./gradlew clean assemble
If you want to run the unit tests, type
./gradlew clean build
If you want to build binary bundles that do not depend on Java or I2P, see the muwire-pkg project
Type
./gradlew gui:run
If you have an I2P router running on the same machine that is all you need to do. If you use a custom I2CP host and port, create a file i2p.properties
and put i2cp.tcp.host=<host>
and i2cp.tcp.port=<port>
in there. On Windows that file should go into %HOME%\AppData\Roaming\MuWire
, on Mac into $HOME/Library/Application Support/MuWire
and on Linux $HOME/.MuWire
Default I2CP port: 7654
Look inside cli-lanterna/build/distributions
. Untar/unzip one of the shadow
files and then run the jar contained inside by typing java -jar cli-lanterna-x.y.z-all.jar
in a terminal. The CLI will ask you about the router host and port on startup, no need to edit any files. However, the CLI does not have an options window yet, so if you need to change any options you will need to edit the configuration files. The CLI options are documented here cli options
The CLI is under active development and doesn't have all the features of the GUI.
There is a Web-based UI under development. It is intended to be run as a plugin to the Java I2P router. Instructions how to build it are available at the wiki Plugin page.
MuWire is available as a Docker image. For more information see the Docker page.
