Installing FFMpeg in Lumen

Question

I am using Lumen (of Laravel) as my backend and using vagrant. I am want to install and use FFmpeg but I got confused how to install it.

Do I need to install it on my localhost or add it to Lumen? or both?

I found this page but I got lost which commands to run.

Update: I installed this repo on Github and run it in vagrant. I think this installed the latest version on my local server, but what should I do next? How can I install and use FFMpeg with Lumen in php?

Answer 1

Go to your Homestead folder, run vagrant ssh . This will get you into your vagrant machine's terminal. Run command sudo apt-get install ffmpeg there and acknowledge the questions you get asked. (Additional libraries for PHP integration might be required.) FFMpeg will be ready to use.
