To do this, simply issue the following command: yum install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel -y Check that FFMpeg installed without issues Typically, most installs you will want to install the base FFMpeg and the FFMpeg Development packages. Now that we have the repository installed for our version of CentOS, we can now install FFMpeg. Rpm -import & rpm -Uvh Install FFmpeg Packages With CentOS 6, the same can be accomplished with the following: With CentOS 7, you can install the GPG Key and Repository with the following: Don't be concerned with the name of the repository, as we are not installing any GUI on your server, instead only using the repository for the FFMpeg packages bundled with it. Since there is not an official release of FFMpeg in RPM packages, we need to use the Nux Dextop repository which does contain FFMpeg. To do so, issue a restart command: shutdown -r now Install the Nux Dextop YUM repository for FFMpeg packages If after the update, there was any updates to the kernel, you will want to restart your machine. Notice the -y after each yum command, which means force yes to any questions (read: automatic, no prompts). After the EPEL Repository is installed, an update command will be issued. Also, further dependencies later will require the EPEL repository, so in our case it is required. Many of these updated packages also contain security updates, so I would highly suggest installing and using the EPEL Repository as default behavior. This will install the EPEL Repository which contains updated packages over the base packages provided with CentOS out of the box. Yum install epel-release -y & yum update -y Comfortable with YUM and RPM commands (Please don't blindly copy and paste code, understand it!).

Root Access (typical on a VPS) or have a sudo user (typical on a shared hosting environment or other VPS environments).

To install FFMpeg on CentOS 6 or CentOS 7, you will need to follow a couple steps. Using FFMpeg is really a quick way to convert massive files into manageable, portable, web ready files.

In order to do so, I needed to make sure that FFMpeg was installed and working on the new host before migrating the site, or all of the cool website multimedia features (e.g. For example, today I was in the process of migrating a website from one web host to another.

From time to time, I have to fire up my good friend (major search engine) to remember how to do certain tasks.
