Procedure for installing cinelerra with ffmpeg

Hi I was trying to install Cinelerra with these commands: For Leap 15.2, run:

sudo zypper ar -f Index of /download/pkgs/leap15.2 cingg
sudo zypper install -r cingg cinelerra
from OpenSuse - Cinelerra GG

but I got this error: System management is locked by the application with pid 3551 (/usr/bin/ruby.ruby2.5).
Close this application before trying again.
System management is locked by the application with pid 3551 (/usr/bin/ruby.ruby2.5).
Close this application before trying again.

What do I do now?

Thankyou @malcolmlewis , that was the first problem. Now I got this problem Problem: nothing provides ā€˜libiec61883.so.0()(64bit)ā€™ needed by the to be installed cinelerra-5.1-20201031.x86_64
Solution 1: do not install cinelerra-5.1-20201031.x86_64
Solution 2: break cinelerra-5.1-20201031.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Nothing to do.

What do I do next?

Do you really use openSUSE Leap 15.2?
In openSUSE Leap 15.2 libiec61883 was available.

You could try to add multimedia:libs (https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/multimedia:libs), there is libiec61883 available for openSUSE Leap 15.4, 15.5 und Tumbleweed.

Ok, in openSUSE Leap 15.4 it is still in the standard repos.

What kind of openSUSE do you use?

Iā€™m using Leap 15.4
Please help me install Cinelerra.

Did you read the disclaimer?

ā€œIMPORTANT Update ā€“ CinelerraGG has switched from providing Package or Tar distributions to only AppImage. The latest AppImage release can be found here along with instructions for usage in the file README.appimage.ā€

Maybe use the appimage?
Have a lot of fun.

I know but which image do I try first. I have a 64bit system, should I just click on the one that says old?

Cinelerra is never easy to install, so itā€™s okay if we make mistakes.

Ok, 1st time I used an AppImage :wink:
Took the newest one: CinGG-20230831-x86_64.AppImage
openSUSE Leap 15.4

what application do i use to open Appimage?

Loading the archive ā€˜/home/nic/Downloads/CinGG-20230831-x86_64.AppImageā€™ failed with the following error:
No suitable plugin found. Ark does not seem to support this file type.

Iā€™m using KDE. Dolphin asks me, if I want to run the AppImage (Single left mouse click).
But now I am off this thread.

Make the appimage executable:

$ chmod a+x nameoftheappimage.AppImage

and start it by doubleclick or from terminal

$ ./nameoftheappimage.AppImage

Also have a look into official documentation:

I execute appimage as per @Kieltux and Cin opened, yay! But Cin did not install. Should I do the chmod thing?

Do I have use of all formats now or do I need to install something else for ffmpeg?

I tried to install everything that search ā€œffmpegā€ brought up, but I got conflict warnings so I stopped.

Please do not tell, show itā€¦

PS Appimage and Flatpacks have all the needed libs inside.
