sytdl, an acronym for Short YouTube Downloader, is a program for making the argument syntax of yt-dlp a little simpler. It provides four commonplace uses of yt-dlp for the user.
To install sytdl, download the zip file from the releases page. Extract it and cd into the sytdl folder. Run install.sh, and sytdl will be automatically installed to your /home/<user>/.local folder. You should then be able to run the program.
You can put the binary file anywhere that your terminal looks for command-line programs, but the documentation folder must go in /home/<user>/.local/share or sytdl will not be able to find the help file.
- sytdl requires the
yt-dlpprogram. - sytdl is written and only tested on Linux, and is unlikely to work on other operating systems.
