Hello Jeffrey,

I Thank Jeffrey and Ronnie fully endorse the steps provided here to install FFMPEG on LINUX server.

The steps here are manual way of installing FFMPEG, if you wish to do the same thing in automated way here is the script.

Please follow these steps carefully.

1. root@server [~]# cd /usr/src/ (to go into the directory /usr/src/ )

2. root@server [~]# Download ffmpeginstaller 3 series Latest Stable Release at using the following command
root@server [~]# wget http://mirror.ffmpeginstaller.com/ol...l.3.2.1.tar.gz

Note: ffmpeginstaller 3 scripts will install stable versions of all binaries. ffmpeginstaller version 4 will install all latest dependencies of ffmpeg and mplayer, and also use svn version of ffmpeg and mplayer. Version 4 and 5 may cause problem on your VPS. I recommend you install Version 3.

3. root@server [~]# Unzip the file
tar -xzvf ffmpeginstall.3.2.1.tar.gz
cd ffmpeginstall.3.2.1

4. Run the installer.
root@server [~]# ./install.sh

The script will find your php.ini, enter the php.ini full path to confirm the installation.

Which generally can be found out using the command

root@server [~]# php -i | grep php.ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /usr/local/lib
Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/lib/php.ini

Just use the above path and you are done..!

To check if the FFMPEG is installed successfully use the following command and check the output. If you get this output consider job well done..!

root@server [~]#which ffmpeg
/usr/bin/ffmpeg
