Installing ffmpeg with homebrew?
I am trying to install ffmpeg and it's libraries with homebrew on a mac running osx (El Capitain). The installation completes however its seems only ffmpeg is installed and not ffprobe or drawtext.
I tried reinstalling with this command:
brew install ffmpeg --with-fdk-aac --with-ffplay --with-freetype --with-frei0r --with-libass --with-libvo-aacenc --with-libvorbis --with-libvpx --with-opencore-amr --with-openjpeg --with-opus --with-rtmpdump --with-schroedinger --with-speex --with-theora --with-tools
..but I get this
Warning:ffmpeg-3.0.2 already installed, it's just not linked
What am I missing? I have tried deleting and retrying the installation but the problem persists.
To answer this question, you need to link up ffmpeg
, but I'd run some housecleaning too.
First remove ffmpeg from your system:
$ brew uninstall ffmpeg
Now update all your brew packages and references.
$ brew update
$ brew upgrade
$ brew cleanup
Now install ffmpeg
on your system, and link it up:
$ brew install ffmpeg --force
$ brew link ffmpeg
Now you should be good to go.
