Requirements

This extension requires FFmpeg to be installed on your system.

Install FFmpeg on macOS

There are several ways to install FFmpeg, but the easiest is via Homebrew, a package manager for macOS.

Step 1: Install Homebrew (if not already installed)

Open Terminal and paste the following command:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Step 2: Install FFmpeg using Homebrew

Once Homebrew is installed, run:

brew install ffmpeg

This will install FFmpeg with default options, including support for most common codecs.

Step 3: Verify Installation

After installation, verify that FFmpeg is accessible from your terminal by running:

ffmpeg -version

You should see version information if the installation was successful.

If you see a "command not found" error, try restarting your terminal or ensuring that Homebrew's path is added to your shell configuration (e.g., .zshrc, .bash_profile).
