# Bash script to install latest version of ffmpeg and its dependencies on Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04
# Inspired from https://gist.github.com/faleev/3435377
# Remove any existing packages:
sudo apt-get -y remove ffmpeg x264 libav-tools libvpx-dev libx264-dev yasm
# Get the dependencies (Ubuntu Server or headless users):
sudo apt-get update

# Calculates the current version number. If possible, this is the
# output of “git describe”, modified to conform to the versioning
# scheme that setuptools uses. If “git describe” returns an error
# (most likely because we're in an unpacked copy of a release tarball,
# rather than in a git working copy), then we fall back on reading the
# contents of the RELEASE-VERSION file.
