Hello, I’m new to DO. I was using HEROKU previously. Now, I’m trying to deploy a telegram bot that has yt-dlp dependency along with FFMPEG. How do I install FFMPEG?
Also I was going through some Q/A on google related to “telegram bots on digital ocean”, I came across some questions. Now I want to know how do I keep my droplet running without having to manually run from shell/cli?

Hi @terminalwarlord,
To install FFMPEG all you need to do is use the following commands:
- sudo apt update
- sudo apt install ffmpeg
To verify the installation, use the ffmpeg -version command, which prints the FFmpeg version:
- ffmpeg -version
sudo snap install ffmpeg sudo snap connect ffmpeg:home snap connections | grep ffmpeg
sudo snap install ffmpeg sudo snap connect ffmpeg:home snap connections | grep ffmpeg
