FFmpeg is one the free and open source cross-platform solution for converting, recording and streaming media. FFmpeg is also used for converting media files to different formats, resize video, change sample rates for video and audio files. In this tutorial, you are going to learn how to install FFmpeg on Debian 10.
In this tutorial we will install FFmpeg in the following two ways:
  1. Install FFmpeg 4 using External Repository. (recommended)
  2. Install FFmpeg 3 using Debian Repository.
Prerequisites
Before you start to install FFmpeg on Debian 10. You must have a non-root user account on your server with sudo privileges.

So you are effectively doing a tutorial, and supplying a link to another linux site to complete it ?

are you serious ?
 
  1. Start by updating the packages list as root or user with sudo privileges: sudo apt update.
  2. Enter the following command to install the FFmpeg package: sudo apt install ffmpeg.
  3. Verify the FFmpeg installation by printing its version: ffmpeg -version.
 
Before you begin you may want to see if it's already installed.

dpkg -L ffmpeg
 
You must have a non-root user account on your server with sudo privileges.

Why in the world do you say so?

Root account can do all you suggest. The user need not be in the sudoers file.

Just because rootless systems are common in this post-Ubuntu world, that doesn't mean it must be done that way.

Installing software requires administrative privileges. I'd word it that way. :)

And, BTW, why does it have to be a server? :rolleyes:

Talking to yourself, I am afraid.
