Let your AI agent install it

Copy this and paste it into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or any assistant that can run commands. It will install and verify on your OS.

Install and configure FFmpeg on my machine.
Repository: https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg

Requirements:
1. Read the repo's README and install docs first — confirm system requirements, dependencies, and the officially supported install path. Don't guess commands.
2. Choose steps for my OS (macOS / Linux / Windows). If unsure, ask me first — no destructive operations.
3. After installing, run a minimal working example and paste the real output, so we know it actually runs.
4. Ask before you need an API key, admin rights, or a large download / significant disk usage.
5. Finally tell me in a few lines: how to start it, how to uninstall it, and where the config lives.
