How to make MAMP know where ffmpeg is?
Posted: Wed Feb 28, 2024 4:02 am
Hello
I have downloaded ffmpeg and have installed it in a folder in my home directory.
I have added this folder containing ffmpeg to my Macs environmental path.
And so if I open a terminal window and type "ffmpeg -version" , it responds correctly.
And so that part is OK.
I am installing a php based CMS named ProcessWire.
One of the modules it uses needs ffmpeg in conjunction with ffmpeg-php to work.
This module has the ffmpeg-php files contained within it.
If I install this on a Linux server and create a website with it, all works well.
Unfortunately, if I try and run this same site in MAMP Pro, I get an error message that "FFmpeg is not installed on host server" when working on any sites I create.
I would be very grateful if anyone could give me some ideas how we can make MAMP Pro aware where FFmpeg is installed on our system.
Details:
Mac Big Sur 11.7.10
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/mb/bin
MAMP Pro 6.9
Many thanks!
