Question
How can I make sure something is on path?

Asked by Chico Demmenie
I have been having an issue where FFmpeg is not detected by another module and asks for it to be added to PATH. I have tried to do this but the module is always removed from path immediately afterward. I have also tried to use the environment variables but this has no effect on the bug either. Is there any other way to make sure that a module is always accessible?

Hello,
Is FFmpeg installed on a Droplet? If this is the case, depending on where FFmpeg is installed at, you can add it to your path by running the following:
Make sure to change the
/path/to/FFmpeg-binso that it matches the location where you’ve installed FFmpeg at. You can also add that line to your~/.bashrcfile so that it is executed every time you login to your server.Also, this might depend on how you invoke the ffpmeg binary, are you running it directly or are you invoking it via a script?
Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
