The easiest way to install this is using Homebrew. After you have Homebrew installed, run the following command in your terminal:

brew install ffmpeg

Depending on your macOS version, the package might be located in a different path than the one set by the extension. To check where ffmpeg was installed, run:

which ffmpeg

Then, update the path in the extension preferences to match the output of the above command.
