Snoober I have compiled ffmpeg in a folder in my home directory (following ubuntu compilation guide with eopkg package names https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu) . When I type ffmpeg in terminal, it uses the native ffmpeg. How do I have ffmpeg command in terminal use my compiled version? Thanks!
Snoober I now understand the shell looks for commands in the order of entries in $PATH, so I simply put my path to my compiled ffmpeg first and now it works as desired.
algent Snoober Other options were to rename your ffmpeg to something else, or use an alias like: alias myffmpeg='$HOME/StandaloneApps/ffmpeg'.
