Move the static binaries ffmpeg and ffprobe into the shell's path.
According to my shell's path that would be /usr/local/bin. I can either uninstall the older version or place the newer static ffmpeg binary in a path that's searched before /usr/bin. This lists an older version of ffmpeg in /usr/bin installed via my package manager. If there's not a binary named "ffmpeg" in any of the above directories the shell will return "ffmpeg: command not found".īefore moving the ffmpeg binary into the shell's path, check to see if an older version of ffmpeg is already installed. When I run the command "ffmpeg", the shell will look in /usr/local/bin first and then the next directory to the right in above list until it's found. Your output may look different than mine, but it will be a somewhat similar list of directories. usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/home/john/.local/bin:/home/john/bin "PATH" is a variable in your environment set to a list of colon seperated directories the shell uses to locate binaries.
To globally install it I need to move the binary into my shell's path. Or using the absolute path to the binary. Without any further steps I can start using ffmpeg with my relative path to the binary. Please read readme.txt! (hit "q" to exit out of "less") $ less ffmpeg-git-20180203-amd64-static/readme.txt $ ls ffmpeg-git-20180203-amd64-staticįfmpeg ffprobe GPLv3.txt manpages model qt-faststart readme.txt Now I have the directory "ffmpeg-git-20180203-amd64-static". You may have to run it twice once to uncompress and again to untar the directory. Note: If you need to do this on Windows, use 7-Zip to unpack it. With the build and the build's md5 hash downloaded you can check its integrity. Otherwise you can use the binary's absolute path.
There's no installation necessary in order to use a static binary, but you may want to place it in your shell's PATH to easily call it from the command line. What is a static build and how do I install it?Ī static build is basically a binary with all the libs included inside the binary itself.
