To configure ffmpeg with XAMPP in Ubuntu, you can follow these steps:

1. Install XAMPP: If you haven't already installed XAMPP, you can do so by downloading the installer from the official website and following the installation instructions.
2. Install ffmpeg: You can install ffmpeg using the following command in the terminal:

1

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

1. Check ffmpeg installation: To verify that ffmpeg is installed correctly, you can run the following command in the terminal:

1

ffmpeg -version

1. Set the PATH variable: To make ffmpeg accessible from XAMPP, you need to set the PATH variable. Open the terminal and run the following command to find the location of ffmpeg:

which ffmpeg

Copy the output of the above command and edit the /opt/lampp/etc/php.ini file using a text editor. Add the following line at the end of the file:

Replace /path/to/ffmpeg with the actual path you copied from the "which ffmpeg" command.

1. Restart XAMPP: After making the changes, restart XAMPP to apply the configuration.
