sudo dnf localinstall --nogpgcheck https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-8.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf install x264-devel

To build with Intel Quick Sync Video support, install the QSV dependencies.

sudo dnf install libva-devel libdrm-devel

To build the GTK GUI, install the graphical interface dependencies.

sudo dnf install dbus-glib-devel gstreamer1-devel gstreamer1-libav gstreamer1-plugins-base-devel intltool libgudev1-devel libnotify-devel webkit2gtk3-devel

CentOS is now prepared to build HandBrake. See Building HandBrake for Linux for further instructions.

CentOS 7

The following instructions are for CentOS 7.

Basic requirements to run commands:

Dependencies:

Additional dependencies not available in the base repository:

Intel Quick Sync Video dependencies (optional):

Graphical interface dependencies:

Additional graphical interface dependencies not available in the base repository:

Install dependencies.

sudo yum update
sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
sudo yum install bzip2-devel cmake fribidi-devel git jansson-devel libogg-devel libsamplerate-devel libtheora-devel libvorbis-devel libxml2-devel numactl-devel python3 speex-devel xz-devel

The lame-devel and x264-devel packages are now provided by the EPEL and RPM Fusion repositories, respectively. If you previously installed the ZMREPO repository for these packages, remove them and the repository before continuing.

# Only necessary if previously installed ZMREPO
sudo yum repo-pkgs zmrepo remove
sudo yum remove zmrepo

Install the EPEL repository and related additional dependencies.

sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install lame-devel libass-devel meson ninja-build

The opus-devel package provided by CentOS 7 is too old. Install a newer version provided by EPEL for CentOS 61.

sudo yum localinstall $(curl -L -s 'https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/Packages/o/' | grep -Eo 'opus-[^">]+\.x86_64\.rpm' | sort -u | awk '{ print "https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/Packages/o/"$0 }')

The nasm package provided by CentOS 7 is too old. Build and install a newer version from source2.

# remove old package if installed
sudo yum remove nasm

# nasm
sudo curl -LO https://www.nasm.us/pub/nasm/releasebuilds/2.14.02/nasm-2.14.02.tar.bz2
tar -xf nasm-2.14.02.tar.bz2
cd nasm-2.14.02
./configure
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
cd ..

The libvpx-devel package provided by CentOS 7 is too old. Build and install a newer version from source3.

# remove old package if installed
sudo yum remove libvpx-devel

# libvpx
curl -L https://github.com/webmproject/libvpx/archive/v1.8.1.tar.gz -o libvpx-1.8.1.tar.gz
tar -xf libvpx-1.8.1.tar.gz
cd libvpx-1.8.1
./configure --enable-shared --enable-static --as=nasm --enable-pic --enable-runtime-cpu-detect --enable-vp8 --enable-vp9
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
cd ..

# make shared libraries findable
export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS:-} -I/usr/local/include"
export LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS:-} -L/usr/local/lib"
echo 'export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS:-} -I/usr/local/include"' >> "${HOME}/.bashrc"
echo 'export LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS:-} -L/usr/local/lib"' >> "${HOME}/.bashrc"
if ! grep '\/usr\/local\/lib' /etc/ld.so.conf >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    echo '/usr/local/lib' | sudo tee --append /etc/ld.so.conf
    sudo ldconfig
fi

Install the RPM Fusion Free repository and related additional dependencies.

sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-7.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install x264-devel

To build with Intel Quick Sync Video support, install the QSV dependencies.

sudo yum install libva-devel libdrm-devel

To build the GTK GUI, install the graphical interface dependencies.

sudo yum install dbus-glib-devel gstreamer1-devel gstreamer1-libav gstreamer1-plugins-base-devel intltool libgudev1-devel libnotify-devel webkitgtk4-devel

The GNU Compiler Collection and related packages provided by CentOS 7 are old. Install and enable a newer version provided by Software Collections (SCL)4. This is recommended for building the HandBrake CLI and required for building the GTK GUI.

sudo yum install centos-release-scl
sudo yum install devtoolset-7
sudo scl enable devtoolset-7 bash  # launches a bash session with the appropriate tools enabled

# make shared libraries findable by root
export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS:-} -I/usr/local/include"
export LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS:-} -L/usr/local/lib"
echo 'export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS:-} -I/usr/local/include"' >> "${HOME}/.bashrc"
echo 'export LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS:-} -L/usr/local/lib"' >> "${HOME}/.bashrc"

CentOS is now prepared to build HandBrake. See Building HandBrake for Linux for further instructions.


  1. Installing newer packages than those available in the base repository may lead to incompatibility with other software expecting specific package versions.

  3. Installing newer packages than those available in the base repository may lead to incompatibility with other software expecting specific package versions.
  4. SCL packages are isolated from base repository versions of similar packages. You can enable these packages using the scl command line tool. When you are finished using these packages, simply log out of the active shell to resume using packages provided by the base repository.
