Step 2: Download and install FFmpeg.įFmpeg packages are included by default in Ubuntu repositories and may be installed with the apt package manager. Once the above command has been duly executed, you can proceed to step 2 below. sudo apt update & sudo apt upgrade update system NOTE: The downgrade process may also remove some other apps.Before deploying anything on your os, it is a good idea to update both the system and the current packages. Then purge the PPAs via the commands below one by one: sudo ppa-purge ppa:savoury1/ffmpeg5 sudo ppa-purge ppa:savoury1/ffmpeg4 Firstly, install the ppa-purge tool via command: sudo apt install ppa-purge You may purge the two PPAs which also downgrade all the installed packages. When everything’s done successfully, verify via ffmpeg -version command. NOTE: This command may remove some apps on your system due to package conflict! DO CHECK the terminal output before typing ‘ y‘ to confirm installation!
If you’re running Ubuntu 18.04 or Ubuntu 16.04, you need to manually refresh the system package cache by running command: sudo apt update 3.) Upgrade FFmpeg to 5.0:įinally, run the command below to install all the available updates including FFmpeg 5: sudo apt full-upgrade Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/ffmpeg5Īlso add the FFmpeg4 PPA which contains the dependency libraries: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/ffmpeg4 When it opens, run command to add the PPA: 1.) Add the PPAsįirstly, press Ctrl+Alt+T on keyboard to open a terminal window.
The PPA still works, and if you find it’s useful you may help by making donations (see the previous link). Though the updates is suspend due to lack of donations. Rob Savoury has built the FFmpeg 5.0 packages into PPA for all the current Ubuntu LTS releases. IMPORTANT: Upgrading FFmpeg is not recommended for beginners! It may conflict with other packages in your system.
