Ubuntu – FFMpeg permission denied error

bashcommand lineffmpegpermissions

I installed ffmpeg into /root/bin

I followed this guide: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu

I now want a non admin to access it. I created a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin

now if i try to execute i get:

-bash: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg: Permission denied

I've spend weeks to remove some conflicts of libraries and ffmpeg got installed. But unfortunately I installed it in /root/bin/.

Typing this in the terminal fixed it for me:

cp -r /root/ffmpeg_build 

cp -r /root/bin/{ffmpeg,ffplay,ffserver,x264,yasm} /usr/local/bin/

And it's working fine.

RUN sed -i -- 's/robbyrussell/sonicradish/g' /root/.zshrc 

# Add none root user
RUN  useradd admin && echo "admin:admin" | chpasswd && adduser admin sudo
USER admin
