Downloading softwares

There are some softwares which support linux but are not available for endless.
eg ffmpeg

in this case what can one do?Can I download it for some linux based os like fedora and use it?

@Harish_Dechiraju
From version 3.0 on, Endless OS uses Flatpak, a new app distribution system for Linux

You can get the static binaries for ffmpeg from this site.

Flatpak apps (those in the App Center) are often larger than .deb or .rpm packages, but they don’t have extra dependencies that will be installed which makes it easier for you to get the latest versions of them without worrying about incompatibilities
