I compiled ffmpeg and somehow installed it to /usr/local/bin/bin/ffmpeg. Can I move it myself without causing...

Since terminal can't find it anyways, I would assume it's safe to move, but I'm not sure how that would affect other files that either rely on ffmpeg install path if they do. FWIW I used



./configure --prefix=/usr/local/bin --enable-cuda --enable-cuvid --enable-nvenc --enable-nonfree --enable-libnpp --extra-cflags=-I/usr/local/cuda/include --extra-ldflags=-L/usr/local/cuda/lib64


to configure the package, then sudo make install in a separate terminal on accident, although I don't think that should make a difference. I had also removed an older ffmpeg after sudo make install but that was a repo package installed in /usr.

    Seems like an XY problem. The problem you SHOULD be asking about is "terminal can't find it" which is very easy to fix.

  • Since you ran sudo make install in a different terminal, and therefore possibly in a different directory, did it actually execute properly? Or did you get make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop. meaning nothing happened? Is ffmpeg actually in /usr/local/bin? If no, then your sudo make install probably didn't do anything as mentioned before. Also, why and where do you want to move it?

  • If I recall correctly /usr/local/bin is in the vanilla Ubuntu PATH, so you don't need to add this directory to the PATH. Only reason I can think of that terminal does not find it is if it did not actually install to /usr/local/bin, or if you are using the same terminal session that previously executed the repo ffmpeg, then installed the compiled ffmpeg, but the hash index was not updated. See output of hash. Should not show /usr/bin/ffmpeg but should show /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg. If not, then run hash -d ffmpeg and try running again.

  • @user535733 - thanks for that link, that should solve it; I'm going to check where ffmpeg's default path should be and put it there.

  • @llogan - it executed without error, and it along with its requisite files are located in /usr/local/bin. I've been looking and I believe that shouldn't have actually caused an error using different terminals, since running sudo make install would use the configuration in which --prefix=/usr/local/bin was defined. The thing I'm having trouble finding information on is moving ffmpeg from /usr/local/bin/bin to /usr/local/bin because I am assuming ffmpeg being nested in a folder is causing an issue. By the way, hash output: 1 /bin/ps and the command didn't find ffmpeg.

Appreciate the help from the comments, turns out I did not need to edit my PATH nor do anything intensive. 



sudo mv /usr/local/bin/bin/ffmpeg /usr/local/bin


worked, and I did move the other file in there that I can't recall the name of.

            How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both .
