CentOS, RedHat, Fedora install FFmpeg environment and decoder

Compilation and Installation Instructions

This guide document is translated from the official website of FFmpeg, and the link to the official document has been successfully installed on CentOS. It is specially recorded for future use. However, the English level is limited. If there are any incomprehensible or incorrect places, you can browse the official original content or Leave a message to correct me, thank you.

This document is based on the minimal installation of the latest version of CentOS. It will provide local non-system and level FFmpeg installation process, and support several common external decoders. This installation instruction also applies to the latest versions of Red Hat (RHEL) systems and Fedora systems.

For other information about compiling software, you can refer to the general compiling guide, refer to the link

The installation method designed in this document is non-intrusive and requires the creation of several folders locally:

• ffmpeg_sources – used to save the source code files downloaded during installation, which can be deleted after the installation is complete.
• ffmpeg_build – used to save the compiled source code files and the installation of dependent libraries, which can be deleted after the installation is complete.
• bin – the installation location of software and decoders, such as (ffmpeg, ffprobe, x264, x265), etc.

You can undo any step in this guide by referring to Reverting Changes .

Kind tips:If you are inconvenient or unable to compile the source code for other reasons, you can directly download the latest precompiled installation package download link

The installation environment depends on

illustrate:The # in the command code indicates that the command needs to be rootexecuted by a super-privileged user or user. In this article, yumthe command must be executed by a super-privileged user

install dependencies

Install the necessary system dependencies. The following are the dependent libraries necessary for source code compilation and installation:

# yum install autoconf automake bzip2 bzip2-devel cmake freetype-devel gcc gcc-c++ git libtool make pkgconfig zlib-devel

create folder

mkdir ~/ffmpeg_sources

Source code download, compilation and installation

Kind tips: If you don’t need to install all the decoders, just skip the corresponding decoder installation module and remove the corresponding parameters FFmpegduring installation ./configure. For example, if you don’t need to install libvpx, skip the installation process of this decoder, and then delete --enable-libvpxJust configure parameters. #4CAF50

Install nasm

NASMIt is the compiler used by some dependent libraries in the system. It is strongly recommended to install it, otherwise the next installation and compilation process will be time-consuming.

make
make install

Install Yasm

As above, Yasmit is the compiler used by some dependent libraries in the system. It is strongly recommended to install it, otherwise the next installation and compilation process will be time-consuming.

Kind tips: Google resource download may cause problems such as connection timeout or slow resource download speed, which may lead to installation failure. It is recommended to use other methods (such as browser + scientific Internet access, etc.) to download the source code, upload the source code to gitee or github, and replace the original link After creating a new link, perform operations such as downloading, compiling and installing

At this point, FFmpegthe installation process of some of its decoders is all over. The following content is about how to update and remove installed software or dependent libraries, if necessary, you can continue to read.

renew

FFmpeg is still under development, and there will be version updates and abnormal fixes from time to time. The update operation needs to remove the old version files first, and then update the dependent library files:

rm -rf ~/ffmpeg_build ~/bin/{ffmpeg,ffprobe,lame,x264,x265}
# yum install autoconf automake bzip2 bzip2-devel cmake freetype-devel gcc gcc-c++ git libtool make mercurial pkgconfig zlib-devel

Update x264

cd ~/ffmpeg_sources/x264
make distclean
git pull

Then run./configure, make, and make install as shown in theInstall x264section.

Update x265

cd ~/ffmpeg_sources/x265_git
rm -rf ~/ffmpeg_sources/x265_git/build/linux/*
git pull
cd ~/ffmpeg_sources/x265_git/build/linux

Then run cmake, make, and make install as shown in theInstall x265section.

Update libfdk_aac

cd ~/ffmpeg_sources/fdk_aac
make distclean
git pull

Then run./configure, make, and make install as shown in theInstall libfdk_aac section.

update-libvpx

cd ~/ffmpeg_sources/libvpx
make distclean
git pull

Then run ./configure, make, and make install as shown in the Install libvpx section.

Update FFmpeg

rm -rf ~/ffmpeg_sources/ffmpeg

Rerun Install FFmpegsection.
