What do I need to use ffmpeg to convert .mov file to webm?

I'm trying to convert .mov files to .webm using ffmpeg from terminal on my Mac. However I don't really get what I should install to complete the conversion: I've installed libvpx

brew install libvpx

I've installed ffmpeg

brew install ffmpeg

But still when I'm trying to convert file like this

ffmpeg -i vid.mov -c:v libvpx -b:v 2000 vid.webm

I'm getting this error:

Automatic encoder selection failed for output stream #0:0. Default encoder for format webm (codec vp8) is probably disabled. Please choose an encoder manually. Error selecting an encoder for stream 0:0

What should I do then? how do I enable default encoder? is there something I should do differently or something more I need to install?
