Originally created by @LWinterberg on GitHub.

currently I'm just handwaving "install homebrew and then ffmpeg", but this really needs some additional info, like:

  • opening the terminal on mac
  • installing xcode
  • installing homebrew
  • installing ffmpeg
  • matching the architecture of Audacity (x64 audacity needs x64 ffmpeg, even on m1 macs; arm64 audacity needs arm64 ffmpeg)
