Hint: The Ctrl key on Windows & Linux is equivalent to the Command key on Mac OS X. The

Alt key on Windows & Linux is equivalent to the Option key on Mac OS X. Application

shortcuts are not customizable.

Note: The Developer menu is available if Mixxx is started using the Command line options.

13.3. Command line options

Mixxx is designed to be as user-friendly as possible. As such, its command line options are only
useful for development or debugging, as they make these tasks easier. Comment line options
are case-sensitive.

Option Description

[FILE] Load the specified music file(s) at start-up. Each file you specify
will be loaded into the next virtual deck. Supported file types:
mp3, ogg, aiff, aif, wav, flac, and optional unprotected aac (m4a)

resourcePath PATH Top-level directory where Mixxx should look for its resource files
such as MIDI mappings, overriding the default installation
location.

pluginPath PATH Top-level directory where Mixxx should look for sound source
plugins in addition to default locations.

settingsPath PATH Top-level directory where Mixxx should look for user settings files
such as the library database and preferences config file.

controllerDebug Causes Mixxx to display/log all of the controller data it receives

and script functions it loads

developer Enables developer-mode. Includes extra log info, stats on

performance, and a Developer tools menu.

locale LOCALE Use a custom locale for loading translations (e.g fr)

-f, fullScreen Starts Mixxx in full-screen mode

-h, help Display this help message and exit

Example: To start Mixxx in Developer mode from a custom resource directory with MIDI and
HID logging enabled, type the following line into the terminal and hit return:

./mixxx --controllerDebug --developer --resourcePath res
