ffmpeg command not found but pip list shows ffmpeg

Question

I have been trying to install ffmpeg using the command pip install ffmpeg and I am doing this in a server where we dont have sudo permissions. On writing ffmpeg I get ffmpeg: command not found. Then I checked with pip list and it showed ffmpeg. Please help me.

Answer 1

pip install ffmpeg installs a Python package that doesn't have any executable scripts; it's for calling functions from Python code.

If you want to install ffmpeg program you need to run — what do you use, Ubuntu? — sudo apt install ffmpeg

The Python package requires the program anyway.
