Hi there how can I be sure that ffmpeg is install in my server. How do I know if ffmpeg is installed on my server? You can try and verify it's location by running /usr/bin/ffmpeg -h from the command line.

Based on your whereis command that should be the correct path. I tried it not work – Ashraf Hefny Dec 30 '14 at 17:37. usr/bin/ffmpeg is the correct path to the ffmpeg binary. A new major version is released every six months, and the version included in the repositories usually lags behind the latest version of FFmpeg.

This is the easiest way to install FFmpeg on Ubuntu. The official Ubuntu repositories contain FFmpeg packages that can be installed with the apt package manager. To validate that the package is installed properly use the ffmpeg -version command which prints the FFmpeg version: ffmpeg -version.Next, install FFmpeg by typing the following command: sudo apt install ffmpeg.Start by updating the packages list: sudo apt update.The fact that it's a server should not change the path where it is installed if you installed it with packages, so it should probably be in /usr/bin/ffmpeg. If it's not in the path, use locate ffmpeg. If ffmpeg is in the path, use which ffmpeg to find its path.
