This package allows you to install FFmpeg on your system using npm. It is a wrapper around the official FFmpeg (shared lib) builds by BtbN. The binaries include ffmpeg, ffprobe and ffplay.

FFmpeg is the leading multimedia framework, able to decode, encode, transcode, mux, demux, stream, filter and play pretty much anything that humans and machines have created, and has been developed by Fabrice Bellard (2000).

Installation

$ npm i -g ffmpeg.sh   # Install on Linux / MacOS
$ npm i -g ffmpeg.cmd  # Install on Windows

Once installed, the ffmpeg, ffprobe and ffplay commands will be available globally.

# Use ffmpeg
$ ffmpeg --help
