Installation

Binary wheels

Binary wheels are provided on PyPI for Linux, MacOS, and Windows linked against FFmpeg. The most straight-forward way to install PyAV is to run:

pip install av

Conda

Another way to install PyAV is via conda-forge:

conda install av -c conda-forge

See the Conda quick install docs to get started with (mini)Conda.

Building from the latest source

# Get PyAV from GitHub.
git clone https://github.com/PyAV-Org/PyAV.git
cd PyAV

# Prep a virtualenv.
source scripts/activate.sh

# Optionally build FFmpeg.
./scripts/build-deps

# Build PyAV.
make

On MacOS you may have issues with regards to Python expecting gcc but finding clang. Try to export the following before installation:

export ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future

On Windows you must indicate the location of your FFmpeg, e.g.:

python setup.py build --ffmpeg-dir=C:\ffmpeg
