Installation

The recommended way to install AVTK is from the Python Package Index:

pip install avtk

If you’re contributing to the project or want to check out the latest source code, you can install directly from GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com/senko/avtk.git

Or you can manually download the source code and run setup.py to install:

python setup.py build
python setup.pby install

Requirements

AVTK depends on the FFmpeg command-line tools for manipulating local media files. Follow the official installation instructions to install FFmpeg.

Note that due to licensing and patent issues, the pre-built ffmpeg package on your operating system may have limited or no support for certain codecs, formats or protocols. If you’re unsure, we recomend you download a static build that comes with most functionality out of the box.
