ffmpeg: command not found

I've installed pbmedia/laravel-ffmpeg successfully.

composer require pbmedia/laravel-ffmpeg

But when I run:

ffmpeg -version

on desktop, it says,

bash: ffmpeg: command not found

@ilex01 The very first line of the installation section says to check you have ffmpeg installed:

The package doesn’t install ffmpeg on your computer. You need to install it yourself.

@martinbean But I've installed ffmpeg in C:\Program Files\ffmpeg

ffmpeg.exe
ffplay.exe
ffprobe.exe

@ilex01 It looks like you are mixing linux and windows here.

Are you running your app locally on your Windows machine using xamp or similar, or are you using some kind of virtual machine?

@Tray2 I use wamp and git bash and php artisan serve and a Virtual Host.

@ilex01 Then you need to add the path to ffmpeg in git bash.
