Install FFMpeg under Windows Subsystem for Linux

install-ffmpeg-WSL.sh

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

worked perfectly.

Still having the same issue:

Err:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/main amd64 alsa-ucm-conf all 1.2.6.3-1ubuntu1.8
  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.83 80]
E: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/alsa-ucm-conf/alsa-ucm-conf_1.2.6.3-1ubuntu1.8_all.deb  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.83 80]
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

I get this error:

E: The repository 'https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/mc3man/trusty-media/ubuntu jammy Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

I had the same problem and this solves it:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install ffmpeg

@wandersonalb Unless I'm misreading, those are already steps in the original post.

@DanKaplanSES I mean, worked for me without add the repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media

@wandersonalb ah so you meant you only need those two steps. Thanks for clarifying.

But I don't understand why we explicitly need to do this at the OS level, and there is not node js runtime solution using npm ? Is there no way without invoking a shell to the OS to simply make use of the binaries for NodeJs for ffmpeg ?
