## Installation

Add the following line to your `deps` in `mix.exs`. Run `mix deps.get`.

This package depends on the [SDL2](https://www.libsdl.org) library. The precompiled build will be pulled and linked automatically. However, should there be any problems, consider installing it manually. In the case of development mode, you need to install FFmpeg on your system.
