MXL Recorder getting started

System requirements

  • Linux distribution with glibc 2.17 or newer
  • The extent of hardware acceleration depends on the graphics card used and possibly on the driver version.

Installation options

Installation can be performed using an AppImage or a Self-extracting archive.

AppImage

Download

Download the installation package to the designated location such as the ~/Downloads directory and make it executable:

cd ~/Downloads
chmod a+x MXL_Recorder-4.*-x86_64.AppImage

Usage

Starting the MXL Recorder with --help displays all command line options.

Configuration

The MXL Recorder can be configured by executing:

./MXL_Recorder-4.*-x86_64.AppImage
Recording

After the configuration the recording can be started using the following command:

./MXL_Recorder-4.*-x86_64.AppImage record

Send signal SIGTERM (e.g. by CTRL-C) to the recorder in order to gracefully stop the recording. An ungraceful termination makes the recorded file unseekable.

Uninstall

Just remove the AppImage from your system:

rm MXL_Recorder-4.*-x86_64.AppImage

Self-extracting archive

Download

Download the installation package to the designated location such as the /tmp directory and make it executable:

cd /tmp
chmod a+x MXL_Recorder-4.*-Linux-x86_64.run

Installation

Navigate to the directory where the MXL Recorder should be installed such as /opt, and execute the file with administrative privileges:

cd /opt
sudo /tmp/MXL_Recorder-4.*-Linux-x86_64.run

Usage

Starting the MXL Recorder with --help displays all command line options.

Configuration

After the installation the MXL Recorder can be configured by executing:

/opt/mxl_recorder-4/bin/mxl_recorder
Recording

After the configuration the recording can be started using the following command:

/opt/mxl_recorder-4/bin/mxl_recorder record

Send signal SIGTERM (e.g. by CTRL-C) to the recorder in order to gracefully stop the recording. An ungraceful termination makes the recorded file unseekable.

sudo /opt/mxl_recorder-4/bin/uninstall.sh
