This worked for me in 2024, Amazon Linux 2
@Rudrabha your steps also work with AL2023, thanks!
I am using https://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-7.0.tar.bz2 instead of the snapshot (which I believe is nightly?)
@Rudrabha Amazon Linux 2 is EOL and should not be used.
@RichardTMiles "Amazon Linux 2 end of support date (End of Life, or EOL) has been extended by two years from 2023-06-30 to 2025-06-30 to provide customers with ample time to migrate to the next version."
Noted @stevebanik, thanks. I’ll reiterate that everyone should be upgrading regularly. Avoiding inevitably is a poor decision IMHO. Get the latest and greatest from the newest versions. Support will end, and if you wait until the last minute you will be left insecure. It is MUCH easier to upgrade immediately as new major releases happen. Jumping 2-3 major versions is generally not a good time.
Amazon Linux 2023 is out; one should upgrade as often as possible.
