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-dlsudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
This allows you to regularly update (maybe even through cron) it with the command:
sudo youtube-dl -U
Which guarantees you keep up with the multitude of random changes made at YouTube.
