My server needs FFMpeg hence I installed this service on CentOS server, I have noted the operation steps so that anyone who needs it can use it later.
FFmpeg is an application for converting audio and video files on Linux. Compiling ffmpeg from source code is quite complicated, here I will show you 2 ways to install:
Install directly from a supported repo.
Install using the prebuilt version.
If you need a new version of FFmpeg, you should use the second way to install it with the prebuilt version.
FFprobe is installed with FFmpeg by default, so you don't need to worry about it.
1. Install FFmpeg from repository
The repo has very little FFmpeg support, it can be said to be rare and will usually be an old version. Here I introduce the Nux Dextop repo, the latest version is 2.6.
First install epel-release
Install nux repo
Install ffmpeg and ffmpeg-devel packages
Check the settings again
2. Install FFmpeg from the prebuilt version
Download the installation script
Grant executable permission
Installing
Check the results again, the latest version is 3.4.1
Done, hope it helps!
