Install ffmpeg on elastic beanstalk using ebextensions config

Question

I\'m attempting to install an up to date version of ffmpeg on an elastic beanstalk instance on amazon servers. I\'ve created my config file and added these container_command

Answer 1

A kind person at Amazon helped me out and sent me this config file that works, hopefully some other people will find this useful:

packages:
  yum:
    ImageMagick: []
    ImageMagick-devel: []
commands:
  01-wget:
    command: "wget -O /tmp/ffmpeg.tar.xz https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/releases/ffmpeg-release-64bit-static.tar.xz"
  02-mkdir:
    command: "if [ ! -d /opt/ffmpeg ] ; then mkdir -p /opt/ffmpeg; fi"
  03-tar:
    command: "tar xvf /tmp/ffmpeg.tar.xz -C /opt/ffmpeg"
  04-ln:
    command: "if [[ ! -f /usr/bin/ffmpeg ]] ; then ln -sf /opt/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-3.4-64bit-static/ffmpeg /usr/bin/ffmpeg; fi"
  05-ln:
    command: "if [[ ! -f /usr/bin/ffprobe ]] ; then ln -sf /opt/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-3.4-64bit-static/ffprobe /usr/bin/ffprobe; fi"
  06-pecl:
    command: "if [ `pecl list | grep imagick` ] ; then pecl install -f imagick; fi"

Edit: Changed the commands to install a "more official" static build linked from the FFMPEG web site. Also, the former static build from Gusari does not seem available anymore.
