There are a few good reasons to be set up to download YouTube videos.

  • Geofencing
  • Reliability
  • Bandwidth Management

Fortunately, it's pretty easy to do.

youtube-dl is a pretty awesome tool.

But don't install it through the package manager. It gets incredibly regular updates & the package manager kinda borks this.

Instead, install it directly:

  sudo wget https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -O /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

  sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
