I'm a beginner with Ubuntu and I need to setup a streaming server for my company, I've installed NGINX and FFMPEG, but when I call ffmpeg -i
in the ~/ffmpeg/ffmpeg
directory it returns an error command not found
but when I call ./ffmpeg -i
it returns a list with configurations.. why does ffmpeg -i
not work and how can I fix it?
I think that the Path Enviroment Variable is incorrect
but how would I go abouts changing said variable? I'm not that experienced with Ubuntu / CMD programming / FFMPEG configuration.

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
? Also, you can just addexport PATH=$PATH:/path/to/ffmpeg/executable
into your~/.profile
or~/.bash_profile
/path/to/ffmpeg/executable
with the actual path to theffmpeg
executable?ffmpeg
? If you followed a guide please provide the link. It is likely you will not need to useexport
or edit~/.profile
, or mess with anything like that.
