What happened?

Getting started with the NPM package created from this repo was quite difficult as I did not find the binaries in the folder ./node_modules/.bin. Instead, I was only able to access ffmpeg at the path ./node_modules/ffmpeg-static/ffmpeg, but this seems more cumbersome than necessary to me if we could provide a symlink to the binary in the folder .bin. Possibly I just misunderstood how to work with this package.

If a hint had been in the README file, no big deal either. Would you mind me adding usage instructions to the file via PR?
