uh hello guys welcome to this video so
0:02
in this video I will show you how to fix
0:04
this error which comes uh when you
0:07
execute fmpg command in the terminal it
0:10
comes fmpg is not recognized as an
0:12
internal or external command you get
0:15
this message even if you have installed
0:18
fmpg inside your system so in order to
0:22
fix this error it is simply saying that
0:24
in inside your command line it doesn't
0:26
detect fmpg so for detection you just
0:30
just need to add it inside your
0:31
environment variable if you haven't
0:33
added this so let me show you what I
0:36
meant by this so if I show you I have
0:39
this folder fmpg folder if you
0:43
see
0:44
installed and if I try to open it it has
0:48
all the binaries available this is your
0:50
exe file for fmpg FF play FF Pro so it
0:54
is there in my C directory fmpg but uh
0:58
if I try to execute it inside the
1:00
command line I get this message that it
1:02
is not recognized so for fixing this
1:05
it's very simple you need to go to your
1:08
environment variables you can search it
1:10
right here then it will come right here
1:13
addit the environment variable just
1:15
search for environment
1:17
variables and then then click on this
1:20
environment variables or you can right
1:22
click on this PC and show more options
1:25
go to
1:27
properties and here also you can search
1:29
for for environment
1:31
variables and this will
1:42
come so you just need to click on this
1:45
select this and click on the edit option
1:47
that is there and then you need to add a
1:51
new entry right here so just click on
1:53
the new button right here that is
1:55
given and just make sure that you copy
1:58
the whole path here go to the directory
2:01
and go to the bin directory and simply
2:04
we need this path here so simply right
2:06
click copy this path which is C
2:09
directory fmpg bin so mine is present in
2:12
the C directory so wherever you
2:14
installed fmpg you just need to copy the
2:16
entire path so just copy it and make a
2:21
new d new entry right here and simply
2:24
paste
2:25
it so that's all that we need to do so I
2:28
pasted this directory
2:30
full directory path inside my path so
2:32
click on okay and again click on okay
2:36
and then click on okay so just need to
2:39
restart command line so just close this
2:42
and if for some reason it is not working
2:45
you just need to run this as a
2:47
administrator as well so just run this
2:49
as
2:51
administrator but in the majority of the
2:54
cases it will run run without the
2:56
administrator access at well so just add
2:59
the path to the environment variables
3:01
and again if you type fmpg so now if you
3:05
see that command is perfectly working so
3:08
you can see that as I typed
3:11
fmpg all the command is perfectly
3:13
working so in this way you can fix that
3:16
problem just need to add that path
3:18
inside the environment variable so
3:21
wherever your fmpg is installed just
3:23
need to copy that and just go to your
3:25
environment variable and paste that path
3:28
so in this easy way you can fix that
3:30
error and thank you very much for
