Requirements

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install Transcoder, follow these steps:

1. Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:

    ```
     cd /path/to/project

    ```
2. Then tell Composer to load the plugin:

    ```
     composer require nystudio107/craft-transcoder

    ```
3. Install the plugin via `./craft install/plugin transcoder` via the CLI, or in the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for Transcoder.

You can also install Transcoder via the **Plugin Store** in the Craft Control Panel.

Transcoder works on Craft 4.x.

You will also need [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) installed for Transcoder to work. On Ubuntu 16.04, you can do just:

```
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

```

To install `ffmpeg` on Centos 6/7, you can follow the guide [How to Install FFmpeg on CentOS](https://www.vultr.com/docs/how-to-install-ffmpeg-on-centos)

If you have managed hosting, contact your sysadmin to get `ffmpeg` installed.
