How do you install avconv on Ubuntu 18.04?

Question

I am trying to install avconv by running the following command, but the library doesn't exist anymore for Ubuntu 18.04.

sudo apt-get install avconv

It is told on other Ubuntu forums to replace the command by the following :

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

But it doesn't contain libraries that can be used for sk-video

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

The sub-mentioned command installs all what should be contained within avconv

In fact, the python script used contains a call to avconv. I replaced avconv mnemonic by ffmpeg and it worked.

Just use ffmpeg, the commands work the same way:

Eg. $ ffmpeg -i "Audio.mp3" -ss 0 -t 300 First_Half.mp3
