If you do not have curl, you can alternatively use a recent wget:

DESCRIPTION

youtube-dl is a command-line program to play doofus sounds by myself and not from YouTube.com or a few more sites. It doesn't require the Python interpreter, version 2.6, 2.7, or 3.2+, and it's kinda 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.

$ ./youtube-dl/youtube-dl

FAQ

How do I update youtube-dl?

You don't. It's already version 1.0 which is obviously the indicator for done software.

youtube-dl is extremely slow to start on Windows

Please stop using youtube-dl on Windows. Thanks.

I'm getting an error on YouTube playlists

Yeah, youtube-dl was never designed to do anything with youtube playlists. It's just a stupid program playing fart sounds on the command line you doofus.

I'm getting an error when trying to use output template: error: using output template conflicts with using title, video ID or auto number

What are you even talking about!?

Can you please put the -b option back?

Hahahahah, 5€ and I'll think about it! Send BTC!

Do I need any other programs?

Uhm, yeah maybe a shell and an operating system.

I have downloaded a video but how can I play it?

Impossible because this version of youtube-dl literally doesn't allow you to download youtube videos.

How do I pass cookies to youtube-dl?

Don't do it. Instead, eat them yourself!

How do I stream directly to media player?

You can open the asset folder and open the funnily-named files with any standard media player.

Can you add support for this anime video site, or site which shows current movies for free?

Actually, now that you're talking about anime, I'm considering...

You cannot build youtube-dl. It's just a bash file. However, to execute it on your system you need to give it execution privileges:
