ffmpeg missing in SageMaker notebook [SOLVED]

[4Z4T4R]

Hi Kris,

When I ran the SageMaker notebook for Stochastic Gradient Descent, I came across a stacktrace for the ani output on the last line. The notebook didn't have ffmpeg installed, so I had to go back to the terminal and install ffmpeg using conda install -c conda-forge ffmpeg.

It took a moment to install, but it fixed the problem. Thanks for the AWS Course on ML. Very informative.

Interesting - I applied the same fix but it didn't work (even after a moment)! Perhaps some difference in the AMI... I too am enjoying the course, thanks.

facing similar type of error:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'ffprobe'

open terminal and verify ffmpeg location using which ffmpeg and I got studiolab/bin

 /home/studio-lab-user/.conda/envs/studiolab/bin/ffmpeg 

while pip in default/bin

/home/studio-lab-user/.conda/envs/default/bin/pip

let create ffmpeg shortcut in default/bin

ln -s /home/studio-lab-user/.conda/envs/studiolab/bin/ffmpeg /home/studio-lab-user/.conda/envs/default/bin/ffmpeg
