Hello,
I followed this installation:

and it doesn't work:

Any explanation? Thank you.

Hey @remixk, I was doing some work on whisper too. I was having this issue.
Basically IMO the machine on which your colab was running does not have ffmpeg. So you can try to load the ffmpeg in your code before you actually start code execution. I mean you would be importing the whisper in the start right, so you can add this code block just bellow that.

!apt install ffmpeg

This should do the job. It solved my error. I got this from this stackOverflow answer.

Let me know if this solved you error or not. Thanks.
