I installed ffmpeg using this command
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
After the installation i tried this command in terminal
ffmpeg
but i got error message like this
root@client85-desktop:~# ffmpeg
bash: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg: cannot execute binary file
How can i solve this issue?
The path /usr/local/bin/ indicates, that you have installed a custom version of ffmpeg. The version you have installed with apt-get install is located at /usr/bin/ (without the "local" part). To execute the version apt-get has installed, run
/usr/bin/ffmpeg
You can remove /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg or mark it as non-exexcutable with sudo chmod -x /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg. Run hash -r so the change takes effect in the current shell. Log out and log back in so that the change takes effect for every graphical application.
As soon as /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg has been treated with one of the above mentioned method, simply calling ffmepg will start the one at /usr/bin/ffmpeg by default.
Edit Added information from @Ramchandra_Apte on how to do this without a complete reboot.
