FFmpeg doesn't support any official builds for any operation systems. You can build the codes from source, or use the prebuilt packages.

## From source
Get source code from [snapshot](https://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-snapshot.tar.bz2) or git(`git clone https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg`).

## From prebuilt packages
### MacOS
Use homebrew to install FFMPEG package
```
brew install ffmpeg
```

### Ubuntu
```
sudo apt update ;\
sudo apt install ffmpeg
```

### Windows
Goto https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html, and

And then browser jumps to https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/, click [release build](https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/#release-builds), download **release-full**.

Unzip the file, then put the folder to anywhere you like, e.g. `C:\libs`,  so the full path of ffmpeg packages should looks like: `C:\libs\ffmpeg-5.0.1-full_build`

#### Add to system variable
Add the path of bin of ffmpeg packages to `PATH` system variable.
