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.
