#### NGC Gui Test Launch

This is an application that helps utilize ffmpeg, specifically for the NGCodec IP. It provides you with widgets to change ffmpeg's settings in an intuitive manner, which it then reads and uses to build various shell scripts that call ffmpeg with the settings you want. Because NGCodec's codecs run on an FPGA, the application is not useful unless you have access to an FPGA with the necessary xclbin and properly configured ffmpeg executables. The app will, however, build the scripts regardless, so it can be useful if all you want to see is the ffmpeg syntax.

The scripts are stored in /var/snap/qtencodegui/current/helper\_dir/Scripts/
FFmpeg/
Stream/
DASH/
respectively.

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install qtencodegui

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
