How do you install avconv on Ubuntu 18.04?

I am trying to install avconv by running the following command, but the library doesn't exist anymore for Ubuntu 18.04.

sudo apt-get install avconv 

It is told on other Ubuntu forums to replace the command by the following :

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

But it doesn't contain libraries that can be used for sk-video


Solution 1:

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

The sub-mentioned command installs all what should be contained within avconv

In fact, the python script used contains a call to avconv. I replaced avconv mnemonic by ffmpeg and it worked.
