### About
|
|
|
|
Youtube-dl-Wrapper is a Bash script for Linux that makes using youtube-dl a little easier, but is basically just an exercise in learning [Git](https://git-scm.com/), [GitKraken](https://www.gitkraken.com/), [Intellij](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/) and [Bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/) for me.<br />
|
|
I hope to update and improve this code as well as maybe adding a [Zenity](https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Zenity) front end over time.<br />
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
You don't need to install youtube-dl-wrapper, but as part of ensuring and enabling it works as expected, installing helps.
|
|
|
|
To install, run the installation script in the main directory - ~/YT-DL/Yt-DL.sh. This will check to see if you have youtube-dl installed and if you don't, it will install it.
|
|
It installs to /home/{user}/bin/YT-DL
|
|
I have chosen to download youtube-dl directly from their release page (https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl), in order to get the latest version, but you can install it from your distro's repo' before installing this script if you'd rather.
|
|
Note that this script does keep youtube-dl up to date by periodically checking the main repo for updates and applying them if needed.
|
|
|
|
### Run
|
|
|
|
You should find a menu entry under 'Other'.
|
|
|
|
Your video will be downloaded to your Desktop.
|
|
|
|
### Uninstall
|
|
|
|
If you wish to uninstall this app, then you can do so by running the 'uninstall.sh' script.
|
|
This should only uninstall components that were installed when you installed youtube-dl-wrapper, so if you had previsouly installed youtube-dl yourself, or manually added the 'usr/bin/python' link, you will need to uninstall them yourself manually.
|
|
|
|
### ::NOTE::
|
|
|
|
You can have issues if youtube-dl can't find python, to fix this you can create a symlink.
|
|
|
|
If you get the error "/usr/bin/env: 'python': No such file or directory" then you can run the included script; 'python-error.sh' or open a terminal and execute this code...
|
|
```bash{16}
|
|
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python
|
|
``` |
