Many developers, content creators, and server administrators use it to convert formats, extract audio, or compress videos.<\/p><p>On virtual private servers (VPS), FFmpeg makes it easy to encode, stream, and manage media workflows. This is useful for resource-heavy tasks, such as hosting a video streaming server.<\/p><p>This guide will show you how to install FFmpeg on Linux, Windows, and macOS. By the end, you&rsquo;ll have it set up on your preferred operating system and ready to handle your multimedia files.<\/p><p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prerequisites-for-installing-ffmpeg\">Prerequisites for installing FFmpeg<\/h2><p>Before installing FFmpeg, make sure your system meets these requirements:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Operating system<\/strong>. While FFmpeg works on older OS versions, we recommend using newer ones like Ubuntu <strong>24.04<\/strong>, Windows <strong>11<\/strong>, or macOS <strong>15<\/strong> Sequoia. These versions offer better compatibility, security updates, and smoother installations, which can help you avoid setup issues.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Storage<\/strong>. FFmpeg itself is around <strong>80 MB<\/strong>, and with dependencies, you&rsquo;ll need at least <strong>100 MB<\/strong> of free space. However, since FFmpeg processes video and audio files, make sure you have enough storage for your files, as they can take up a lot of space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Terminal application<\/strong>. While you can directly download FFmpeg on Windows, you&rsquo;ll need to use the terminal on Linux and macOS to set it up. The terminal is a built-in application on both platforms. If you&rsquo;re installing FFmpeg on a Linux VPS, you can use the terminal or an <a href=\"\/tutorials\/how-to-use-putty-ssh\">SSH client like PuTTY<\/a> to connect to your server remotely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Administrative privileges<\/strong>. You need admin or sudo privileges to install FFmpeg. This isn&rsquo;t an issue on personal computers, as you usually have the required permissions. For servers, check with your hosting provider to confirm admin access. If you use <a href=\"\/vps-hosting\">Hostinger&rsquo;s VPS<\/a>, you&rsquo;re in luck &ndash; our plans include full root access, so you can modify your server freely.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-install-ffmpeg-on-linux\">How to install FFmpeg on Linux<\/h2><p>To install FFmpeg on Linux, first open your terminal. On personal computers, simply launch the software and proceed to the first step.<\/p><p>Meanwhile, for VPSs, access your server via SSH with the following command in a terminal window, replacing <strong>your_vps_ip<\/strong> with your server&rsquo;s IP address:<\/p><pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\" data-enlighter-theme=\"\" data-enlighter-highlight=\"\" data-enlighter-linenumbers=\"\" data-enlighter-lineoffset=\"\" data-enlighter-title=\"\" data-enlighter-group=\"\">ssh root@your_vps_ip<\/pre><p>Hostinger VPS customers can find their VPS IP in hPanel by navigating to the VPS overview area.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure data-wp-context='{\"imageId\":\"69dffb26f3a1c\"}' data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1810\" height=\"664\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/LqiWLm-3MGbYHtFuUbcBtA\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/01\/hostinger-vps-overview-screen-v2.png\/public\" alt=\"VPS overview in hPanel\" class=\"wp-image-125759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/LqiWLm-3MGbYHtFuUbcBtA\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/01\/hostinger-vps-overview-screen-v2.png\/w=1810,fit=scale-down 1810w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/LqiWLm-3MGbYHtFuUbcBtA\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/01\/hostinger-vps-overview-screen-v2.png\/w=300,fit=scale-down 300w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/LqiWLm-3MGbYHtFuUbcBtA\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/01\/hostinger-vps-overview-screen-v2.png\/w=1024,fit=scale-down 1024w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/LqiWLm-3MGbYHtFuUbcBtA\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/01\/hostinger-vps-overview-screen-v2.png\/w=150,fit=scale-down 150w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/LqiWLm-3MGbYHtFuUbcBtA\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/01\/hostinger-vps-overview-screen-v2.png\/w=768,fit=scale-down 768w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/LqiWLm-3MGbYHtFuUbcBtA\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/01\/hostinger-vps-overview-screen-v2.png\/w=1536,fit=scale-down 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1810px) 100vw, 1810px\" \/><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Enlarge\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"><\/path>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure><\/div><p>Hostinger also offers a <strong>Browser terminal <\/strong>feature, so you can run commands directly from your browser without using additional apps.
