FFMPEG
Hello, need some help regarding installing FFMPEG.
I have already installed FFMPEG (node js) on my MacBook and the file has appeared in my node_modules. However, when I launch the app.js script, I keep getting a message asking me if I have installed FFMPEG.
Can someone please help? I'm really new with this. Thank you!
@RPEK001, did you manage to find a solution for this? I'm having the same problem... Cheers
@dl00065 Hello! Nope, still receiving the Error and asking if I had installed FFMPEG. Sigh...
When you say you "installed FFMPEG (node js)", did you actually install the ffmpeg executable (which is separate from the node library)? If you type ffmpeg at a shell prompt does it run? If not, see the following instructions for one way to install it: http://www.renevolution.com/how-to-install-ffmpeg-on-mac-os-x/
@RPEK001 @wiseman Issue resolved:
It seems that windows installer sometimes doesn't add node to the system path. details here: https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/issues/4356
You can fix this by manually adding node the system path by:
- going to: "Start", right click "computer", select "properties"
- Select "Advanced system settings", then "Advanced tab" and "Environmental variables"
- Under system variables choose new, enter variable name as "path" and variable value as "C:\Program Files\nodejs" (or whatever the path is to your nodejs installation).
Then install ffmpeg to the node path by following the instructions at: http://adaptivesamples.com/how-to-install-ffmpeg-on-windows/
I then found that I had also incorrectly installed bower. If you get the error "Bower enogit git is not installed or not in the path" then here are instructions for a fix: https://hassantariqblog.wordpress.com/2015/11/06/bower-enogit-git-is-not-installed-or-not-in-the-path/
So that's the video now working...
