How to install

aqua supports several install ways.

e.g. https://suzuki-shunsuke.github.io/tfcmt/install

The tool's official installation guide:

Well... ffmpeg recommends you build from source ./configure && make (but that requires dependencies) but there are pre-built static binaries for macOS, linux & Windows (ala GitHub releases), and 32 bit Linux...

• Download pre-built binaries
  • GitHub Releases
  • Files in the GitHub repository
  • URL:
• Build from source
  • go install: go install
  • go build: go build
  • cargo install cargo install

The versioning is not semver, but we have no choice.

aqua doesn't support the version like latest because probably it's mutable.

Which assets should we choose?

If automatic binaries semver for ffmpeg existed, would that work?

[suzuki-shunsuke]

Semver is ideal, but it isn't mandatory.
There are several issues.

1. As I mentioned ffmpeg #30361 (comment) ,
   ffmpeg has a lot of assets.
   I'm not familiar with ffmpeg, so I'm not sure which assets we should choose.
2. Asset names include string like N-118175 and g59258fb90e.
   I'm not sure these meanings, and unfortunately these strings are changed by version.
   So we can't define asset name templates like ffmpeg_{{.OS}}_{{.Arch}}.tar.gz.
   For such a case, aqua supports variables, but users need to update variables every time they update ffmpeg. This is inconvenient.

[ThatXliner]

Installing ffmpeg typically includes a lot of the codec libraries that come with it. Static builds of ffmpeg is probably just those bundled only with the executable so you can’t use the codec libraries but only the executable. For macOS, is there a chance the homebrew registry?

[suzuki-shunsuke]

Seems like Homebrew builds ffmpeg from source code, which aqua doesn't support.
