Cross-platform
Enjoy full support for all major platforms: Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Setup MPS
Download and install the prebuilt version for your platform. The server will then start automatically, running as a daemon on Unix or as a service on Windows. No manual intervention is required.
Enter your address into the MPS Address field as shown in the screenshot.
For example, if your computer’s IP address is 192.168.1.5, the URL will be:
http://192.168.1.5:5154
If everything is set up correctly and your computer is powered on, the green indicator on the main screen will light up. To verify the configuration, try restarting your computer and ensure it functions as expected.
Using MPS over the Internet
The program can operate over the Internet. To enable this, open port 5154 on your router and configure a static DHCP rule. Refer to this article for guidance, but use port 5154 instead of port 9. Once configured, use your external Internet IP address instead of your local one.
Enter your server address into the MPS Address field as shown in the screenshot.
For example, if your external IP address is 93.191.63.4 or your domain name is example.com, the URL will be:
http://93.191.63.4:5154 or http://example.com:5154
