It is recommended that you install ffmpeg from your distribution’s package manager. In case you don’t, Stash will download a copy for you.

Stash offers different binaries for different architectures. You can find your processor architecture by running a simple command uname -p in a terminal.

stash-linux = amd64
stash-linux-arm32v6 = arm32v6 (armel)
stash-linux-arm32v7 = arm32v7 (armhf)
stash-linux-arm64v8 = arm64v8 (arm64)

Install

  1. Download latest <binary-name> binary from GitHub repository depending on your architecture.
  2. Run ./<binary-name> from the terminal.
    • If you have trouble, try running chmod u+x <binary-name> to make the file executable.
  3. If everything went well, it should open a browser tab http://localhost:9999 to get started.
