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

The version is not specified in the first command "01-wget ..." however, it is specified when linking the files. Since the publication of this the release has been changed from "ffmpeg-3.3.1-64bit-static" to "ffmpeg-3.3.3-64bit-static" there are two solutions to fix this problem:

1. specify the version for wget

2. strip the containing directory on unpacking.

   03-tar: command: "tar xvf /tmp/ffmpeg.tar.xz -C /opt/ffmpeg --strip 1"

Here is the full script:

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 --strip 1"
  04-ln:
    command: "if [[ ! -f /usr/bin/ffmpeg ]] ; then ln -s /opt/ffmpeg/ffmpeg /usr/bin/ffmpeg; fi"
  05-ln:
    command: "if [[ ! -f /usr/bin/ffprobe ]] ; then ln -s /opt/ffmpeg/ffprobe /usr/bin/ffprobe; fi"
  06-pecl:
    command: "if [ `pecl list | grep imagick` ] ; then pecl install -f imagick; fi"
