Not many things I love more than discovering that someone wanted the program I'm about to write, and wrote it better than I'd have had time to. This is why I still love the Linux/BSD ecosystem after all these years
- neoncontrails 10y agoFYI to Mac users: brew install youtube-dl works just as well.
- dabber 10y agoJust a note, in the FAQ[1] it states "distribution packages are often outdated". There are (very simple) cURL/wget instructions in the repo's README[2]. Then you can update with: sudo youtube-dl -U There's also an .exe for Windows as well as pip, Homebrew, and MacPorts packages.
