It's complicated getting Aeneas to install on OSX and Ubuntu. Here's a stab at packaging the install in a convenient NPM module. It's messy but works most of the time

Simply

npm install aeneas-install

Then

npm run-script setup

Note: This does a system-wide install of FFMPEG, Python etc. so expect several sudo steps requiring you to enter your admin password.

With a successful installation, it should end the output with something like this:
