Hello folks I was try to install FFMPEG via WHM on my VPS server but unsuccessfully. Can somebody help me to do that?
This is the best way I've found to install FFmpeg on a CentOS system: https://www.vultr.com/docs/how-to-install-ffmpeg-on-centos You didn't specify whether or not you are using CentOS, but I would think trying to install FFmpeg within WHM may be problematic. Best to do it via cli with sudo/root access.
Installing FFMPEG on a cpanel/whm server is going to be a pain due to all of the requirements for ffmpeg that may conflict with whm's configuration and easyapache auto updater. I would recommend deploying ffmpeg on another VPS, and transferring the data on over for ffmpeg to compile, or mount a directory from WHM to the server so that it can auto compile, if you don't want to transfer data (should be in the same location and same physical box if you want to do this). If you really want to give it a whirl, you should be able to install epel-release #yum install epel-release then update yum #yum update -y and then try to install ffmpeg #yum install ffmpeg You will most likely have a lot of dependencies, and if you have CloudLinux installed, you are going to have to make ffmpeg an available command to run inside of cagefs First, you will want to know the path to ffmpeg #which ffmpeg #nano /etc/cagefs/conf.d/ffmpeg.cfg And enter the following as an example [custom] comment=ffmpeg paths=/path/to/ffmpeg SAVE and EXIT and then reload cagefs to pickup the new command cagefsctl --force-update
