how to install ffmpeg in microsoft fabric

admin

I am running a python script on Microsoft fabric notebook using the pydub library, which relies on external audio handling utilities like ffmpeg, to split MP3 files. The ffmpeg utility is not a Python package and must be installed separately in my environment. I use following code

import os

# Set the path to the ffmpeg binaries
ffmpeg_path = "/lakehouse/default/Files/Bronze/Model/test/ffmpeg"
os.environ["PATH"] += os.pathsep + ffmpeg_path

# Verify the PATH environment variable
print(os.environ["PATH"])

# Verify that the binaries are accessible
!ffmpeg -version

but I get error as

/usr/bin/sh: line 1: ffmpeg: command not found

How should I install ffmpeg in microsoft fabric?
