Unable to install ffmpeg on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS












0















I seem to be having issues installing ffmpeg on my server machine, I have tried multiple resources online including adding different PPA's but none of them seem to have worked so I have since removed them.
Basically, when I do the command sudo apt-get install ffmpeg, it gives me the error message of E: Package 'ffmpeg' has no installation candidate.
Any assistance would be wonderful, thank you so much!
Note: I looked at other questions regarding this, and none of them seem to have this issue on this version of ubuntu

    the performance if you compile ffmpeg is way better than the performance on ffmpeg of the repos, why you don't try it ? trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu

  • ffmpeg is in the universe repository. You need to enable the universe repository on your system to install ffmpeg. See askubuntu.com/questions/1081243/…
