This blog is to show you how to install and use YT-DLP on macos
Follow these steps to install the youtube downloader program YT-DLP. First make sure you have “homebrew” installed. Open a terminal and paste the following command.
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Then its as easy as:brew install yt-dlp
andbrew install ffmpeg
Now you can use the YT-DLP command from the terminal.
yt-dlp 'youtube-url'
Or if you want a specific output extension
yt-dlp ‘youtube-url’ –format mp4
One important thing here is to make sure to quote the youtube url in single quotes, otherwise you might get the error: no matches found:
