# INSTALLATION
2020-09-01 02:24:22 +02:00
**All Platforms**
Preferred way using pip:
2020-08-31 23:12:53 +02:00
You may want to use `python3` instead of `python`
2014-05-13 11:16:11 +02:00
2020-08-31 23:12:53 +02:00
python -m pip install --upgrade youtube-dlc
2014-05-13 11:16:11 +02:00
2020-09-01 02:24:22 +02:00
**UNIX** (Linux, macOS, etc.)
Using wget:
sudo wget https://github.com/blackjack4494/youtube-dlc/releases/latest/download/youtube-dlc -O /usr/local/bin/youtube-dlc
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dlc
Using curl:
sudo curl -L https://github.com/blackjack4494/youtube-dlc/releases/latest/download/youtube-dlc -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dlc
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dlc
**Windows** users can download [youtube-dlc.exe ](https://github.com/blackjack4494/youtube-dlc/releases/latest/download/youtube-dlc.exe ) (**do not** put in `C:\Windows\System32` !).
**Compile**
To build the Windows executable yourself
2014-05-13 11:16:11 +02:00
2020-08-31 23:12:53 +02:00
python -m pip install --upgrade pyinstaller
2020-09-02 20:25:25 +02:00
pyinstaller.exe youtube_dlc\__main__.py --onefile --name youtube-dlc
2016-06-05 06:19:44 +02:00
2020-08-31 23:12:53 +02:00
Or simply execute the `make_win.bat` if pyinstaller is installed.
2020-09-01 02:24:22 +02:00
There will be a `youtube-dlc.exe` in `/dist`
For Unix:
You will need the required build tools
python, make (GNU), pandoc, zip, nosetests
Then simply type this

# DESCRIPTION
2020-08-31 23:12:53 +02:00
**youtube-dlc** is a command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com and a few more sites. It requires the Python interpreter, version 2.6, 2.7, or 3.2+, and it is not platform specific. It should work on your Unix box, on Windows or on macOS. It is released to the public domain, which means you can modify it, redistribute it or use it however you like.

--version Print program version and exit
2015-10-06 09:08:10 +02:00

sure that you have sufficient permissions
(run with sudo if needed)

skip unavailable videos in a playlist
--abort-on-error Abort downloading of further videos (in the
playlist or the command line) if an error
occurs

an error. The default value "fixup_error"
repairs broken URLs, but emits an error if

present, !key to check if the key is not
present, key > NUMBER (like "comment_count
> 12", also works with >=, <, <=, !=, =) to
compare against a number, key = 'LITERAL'
(like "uploader = 'Mike Smith'", also works
with !=) to match against a string literal
and & to require multiple matches. Values
which are not known are excluded unless you
put a question mark (?) after the operator.
For example, to only match videos that have
2017-02-21 17:48:24 +01:00
