How to install ffmpeg clean on Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04?




First of all I am not an Expert at all. I was looking for the same search term online as its kanda different to install FFMPEG on Ubuntu 14.04, Installing FFMPEG on Ubuntu 16.04 is much easier.
Just run the following code in your terminal or putty

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

But on  Ubuntu 14.04, its kind of different.

On Ubuntu 14.04, ffmpeg has been removed and replaced with avconv.

You can install avconv by by SSH'ing into your server as root and running the command:

sudo apt-get install libav-tools

But if we use  avconv we will have to modify our script to that it can run by avconv  too.

There are some other ways to install direct FFMPEG on Ubuntu 14.04.

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg


I don't know why but sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media  was showing not recognized command on my terminal then I have found i need to install properties-common using command:

apt-get install software-properties-common

 Then I was able to install FFMPEG properly on my server
and scripts are working properly as well :)
