Additional Tools Installation
Pimcore uses some 3rd party applications for certain functionalities, such as video transcoding (FFMPEG), image optimization (advpng, cjpeg, ...), and many others. For a full list of additional tools required or recommended for Pimcore, please visit Pimcore System Requirements.
The installation of some of the tools is covered in this guide and should work at least on every Debian based Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, ...). For other Linux distributions you might have to adopt some commands to your platform-specific environment, but we try to use as many statically linked software as possible, that can be used on any x64 Linux platform.
It's important that all tools (incl.
composer
) are added to the$PATH
env. variable, so that Pimcore is able to find the executables. If you're not able to control the$PATH
variable, you can also manually configure the paths for each application.
Composer
Please visit the official install guide for Composer: https://getcomposer.org/
FFMPEG
Please keep in mind that many Linux/GNU distributions ship FFMPEG only with free codecs, so they do not support commonly used video codecs such as mpeg4 and many others.
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
PDF Generation
It's possible to either choose to install LibreOffice/Chromium or to use them via Gotenberg (Docker-powered API).
