node-ffmpeg-installer
Platform independent binary installer of FFmpeg for node projects. Useful for tools that should “just work” on multiple environments.

A combination of package.json fields optionalDependencies, cpu, and os let’s the installer only download the binary for the current platform. See also “Warnings during install”, below.
