What Is YT-DLP?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/yt-dlp\/yt-dlp\">YT-DLP<\/a> is a command-line application and a project of the  well-known YouTube-DL project.

How to Install YT-DLP<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you know the right method, you  can easily install YT-DLP. Here is how you can do it easily.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 1: Prepare Your System<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Before getting YT-DLP, make sure  Python sits on your machine. Without Python, YT-DLP cannot run at all. Open  Command Prompt if using Windows, or Terminal on Mac or Linux, then type python  &#8211;version and press enter. A version number appearing means Python already  exists here. Missing that? Head to the real Python site to grab and set up  Python first.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tc2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.com\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/install-python-on-computer-2.png\" class=\"highslide\" rel=\"highslide\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.com\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/install-python-on-computer-2.png\" alt=\"install-python-on-computer\" width=\"650\" height=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-136102 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1600\/690;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Step 2: Download YT-DLP<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Start by going to the official  YT-DLP GitHub site, then grab the correct build based on your OS. Once done,  look inside the destination folder where the file landed after downloading.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tc2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.com\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/download-ytdlp-3.png\" class=\"highslide\" rel=\"highslide\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.com\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/download-ytdlp-3.png\" alt=\"download-ytdlp\" width=\"650\" height=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-136102 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1600\/730;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Step 3: Install YT-DLP<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Start at your saved file location  using Command Prompt or Terminal. Move into that folder before anything else happens.  Execute pip install yt-dlp then press Enter without delay. That process brings  YT-DLP along with needed parts to your system. Once done, test if it worked  correctly just by entering yt-dlp&#8211;version. What appears next must include a  clear version number shown on screen.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 4: Download Your  First Video<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Ready to pull down videos? Head over  to wherever the video lives &#8211; maybe YouTube or Vimeo &#8211; and copy its address.  Fire up your computer&#8217;s command line tool, like Command Prompt or Terminal.  Type yt-dlp followed by a space and then paste the link you saved. That pasted  web address takes the spot of  in the example. The moment you press  enter, downloading begins. Hit enter once you\u2019re at the prompt, then YT-DLP  starts pulling the video. Usually, it lands in the directory the command came  from.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tc2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.com\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/download-videos-ytdlp-4.png\" class=\"highslide\" rel=\"highslide\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.com\/knowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/download-videos-ytdlp-4.png\" alt=\"download-videos-ytdlp\" width=\"650\" height=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-136102 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 684px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 684\/102;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Step 5: Customize  Settings<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>YT-DLP also provides customization  of downloads.

It is only compatible with Amazon MiniTV, a free  service with limited content that is available only in India. To download Prime  Video content, you need a dedicated downloader.
