This can be run in two ways. + +## System-wide install + +The recommended method is for the user to run it as root (with no +arguments) immediately after installing (or upgrading) Vivaldi, but +before first run. The file will then be placed in '/var/opt/vivaldi' and +found by Vivaldi when you launch it afterwards. + +Files installed this way will even be cleaned up automatically on +uninstall by 'douninst.sh'. Alternatively running 'update-ffmpeg' again +(as root) with '--undo' will also remove the lib and associated +directories. + +## Per-user install + +If you do not run the 'update-ffmpeg' as root before first run, Vivaldi +will call this script itself, automatically on first launch (with the +option '--user'). In this case the lib will be installed into +'~/.local/lib/vivaldi' (for each user who launches Vivaldi) and will +then be available, from the next restart (of the browser). + +If you wish to remove the file from '~/.local/lib/vivaldi', you can run +'update-ffmpeg' as follows: + + /opt/vivaldi/update-ffmpeg --user --undo + +Alternatively look in '~/.local/lib/vivaldi' and remove the files +manually. + +NOTE: Keep in mind the lib will be automatically reinstalled in +'~/.local/lib/vivaldi' if any user on the system launches Vivaldi again. |
