SOLVED: Install ffmpeg on Mac Book

Warning: This article was published many years ago (greater than two) Aug 13, 2014. Some information may be outdated.

The following is quick and easy method.
The Minimum Requirements
• An Intel CPU
• OS X 10.5 or higher
• Command Line Tools for Xcode: xcode-select –install, https://developer.apple.com/downloads or Xcode
• A Bourne-compatible shell for installation (e.g. bash or zsh)

I like the “iTerm” download and install from http://iterm2.com/

  1. Install “HomeBrew” Open Terminal and copy paste the following
//1. Install "HomeBrew” Open Terminal and copy paste the following
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
// 2. Run the following
> brew doctor

resolve all issue, mostly remove other installation of Macport etc..
Ignore the PATH Issues.. “Consider setting your PATH so that /usr/local/bin occurs before /usr/bin.”
Note: For those on Mac OS X, you can use curl -O instead of wget.
