    How to install and use Mosquitto for

    Windows

    Introduction
    Mosquitto is an application for the MQTT protocol. It can be used as a broker, subscriber
    and publisher.
    This guide will covers how to use Mosquitto as an application, not as a Windows service.

    Installation
    Download Mosquitto from ​https://mosquitto.org/download/​ and install it.

    If you install it with the “Service” checkbox checked, it will start automatically with Windows
    and ​occupy the default port 1883.
    If you installed Mosquitto this way you can disable the service by going into the ​Services
    menu in Windows and pressing the stop button with the ​Mosquitto Broker​ selected.

    The default installation path will be: ​C:\Program Files\mosquitto


    The directory should look like this if the program installed correctly.
    Usage
    The installation path is by default: ​C:\Program Files\mosquitto
    Navigate to the folder with cmd.exe using ​cd C:\”Program Files”\mosquitto

    Running the broker


    Running the command ​mosquitto.exe -v​ will start the broker and put it in ​verbose ​mode,
    enabling debug messages etc.
    The broker is now running, any connecting subscribers or published messages will show up
    as prints in this window.

    When a subscriber subscribes to your broker, it will look something like this.

    Running the subscriber


    Running the command ​mosquitto_sub.exe -t ​*your topic here*​ will start the subscriber and
    subscribe to the topic specified instead of ​*your topic here*.​
    If not specified, the default IP is your local IP.
    If not specified, the default port is 1883

    This subscriber is now subscribed to the topic ​testTopic​ on the broker running on the local
    IP on port 1883.

    To subscribe to another IP and/or another port use ​-h ​*IP here*​ ​-p *port here*​ as additional
    arguments when starting mosquitto_sub.exe

    This broker is now subscribed to the topic ​testTopic​ o


    ​ n ip ​140.2.66.130​ on port ​1234.

    Using the additional argument ​-d​ will enable debug prints.


    Running the publisher
    Running the command ​mosquitto_pub.exe -t ​*your topic here* ​-m ​*”your message
    here”*​ will start the publisher and send a message to the topic specified with the message
    specified.
    If not specified, the default IP is your local IP.
    If not specified, the default port is 1883

    This publisher has just sent a message to the broker on my local computer, on port 1883, on
    topic ​testTopic​ with the message ​Test message.​

    To publish to another IP and/or another port use ​-h ​*IP here*​ ​-p *port here*​ as additional
    arguments when starting mosquitto_pub.exe

    Using the additional argument ​-d​ will enable debug prints.

    This publisher just sent the same as above, although this time with debug messages
    enabled.

    Troubleshooting

    If you get an error telling you that “normally only one user is allowed per socketaddress
    (procol/network address/port)” you might have another application already running, listening
    on port 1883. Check if you already have another cmd window with a broker running on the
    same port. Alternatively a Mosquitto broker might be running already as a service. Scroll up
    to the ​installation section​ of this guide to see how to fix this.
