Quick Start for yt-dlp on Windows

  • Install Latest Stable Python3
  • Install Pip
  • Work on project within a (venv) virtual environment, or any other Python Virtual Env. To "containerize" extra required Python libraries. Libraries like the yt-dlp library we're using for this script (Optional but Highly Recommended).
  • Replace video_url in main.py to the YouTube video link to download.
  • When run, this will create a downloads directory in the root of your project and place the media there.
  • If no downloads directory exists, the script will auto-create
