Help with ffmpeg and GPUs on Linux

I'm a total noob when it comes to Linux and I need some help if anyone is willing.
I know when I installed a second drive into my machine running linux that I needed to partition and mount that drive in order to write to it. Is there something similar I need to do for an AMD or Nvidia GPU as well to use to hardware acceleration in zoneminder? I know that hardware acceleration in zoneminder is spotty, but's it's something I'd like to know how to do.

I was looking at this thread and I was just confused by it.

I need to install ffmpeg on my own? Or does zoneminder already install its own?

Any help would be appreciated.
