youtube-dl is a command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com and other video sites.

Download and Install

1. Connect to your slot with SSH.
2. Make a directory for binaries if you don't already have one. mkdir ~/bin
3. Download youtube-dl to your binary directory. curl -L https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o ~/bin/youtube-dl
4. Make the binary executable. chmod +x ~/bin/youtube-dl
5. Add ~/bin to your PATH so that you can run binaries in ~/bin without specifying the path. Ignore this step if you have performed it for a different program. echo "PATH=\$HOME/bin:\$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc

You can now invoke the youtube-dl command.
