If you wish to download a YouTube video to store locally on your computer, you can do so on a Mac OS X system, and Linux systems, also, using youtuble-dl, a Python script. You can also download a Microsoft Windows exe file from the youtube-dl Download Page. With youtube-dl, you can download videos from YouTube and other sites from a command-line interface (CLI).
For a Mac OS X system, you can obtain the script using the
curl utility that is provided
with the operating system. You can also use curl on a Linux system, if you
have it installed on that system. Alternatively, you can use
wget, which isn't
provided with the OS X system, but which you may have on a Linux system, if
you don't have curl available. To obtain the youtube-dl script using curl on
a Mac OS X system, you can open a
Terminal
window and issue the command sudo curl -L
https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o
/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl. That will download the script and place it in
the /usr/local/bin directory.
