Obtain a tarball

You should first obtain a tarball with the project source from sourceforge. Older versions can be found on github.

• https://sourceforge.net/projects/ffmulticonv/files/
• https://github.com/Ilias95/FF-Multi-Converter/downloads

Just download and extract the desired version.

Install the dependencies

The program actually only needs Python3 and PyQt5 to run. Then, you should install the optional dependencies, depending on what you want to convert. FFmpeg for video and audio conversions, ImageMagick for image conversions and unoconv for document conversions.

Install the corresponding packages from your distribution's package manager.

Note: For versions prior to 1.8.0 you will need PyQt4 and for versions prior to 1.6.0 you will need Python2.

Install

From the application's directory just run as root:

python3 setup.py install

You may now run the application, and convert your files.

Uninstall

From application's directory, run the following as root to delete all project files from your system:

sh uninstall.sh

Note: If you've used a package manager to install the application you should use it again to remove it, instead of running the above script.
