Installation\n\n## Windows 🪟\n\n-   **Traditional way**\n\n    Download and install the exe or msi file. Exe file lets you choose custom download location, msi file doesn't ask for location. Windows defender may show a popup saying **Windows Protected Your PC**. Just click on **More info** and click on **Run Anyway**\n\n-   **Chocolatey**\n    App can be installed from [Chocolatey](https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/ytdownloader) using the following command\n    ```\n    choco install ytdownloader\n    ```\n-   **Scoop**\n    App can be installed with [Scoop](https://scoop.sh) using the following command\n    ```\n    scoop install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aandrew-me/ytDownloader/main/ytdownloader.json\n    ```\n-   **Winget** (Might be using outdated version)\n\n    App can be installed with [Winget](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli) using the following command\n    ```\n    winget install aandrew-me.ytDownloader\n    ```\n## Linux 🐧\n\nLinux has several options available - Flatpak, AppImage, Snap and AUR.\nFlatpak is recommended. For arm processors, download from flathub.\n\n-   ### AppImage\n\n    **AppImage** format is supported on most Linux distros and has Auto-Update support.\n    It just needs to be executed after downloading. See more about [AppImages here](https://appimage.org/).\n\n    [AppImageLauncher](https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher) is recommended for integrating AppImages.\n\n-   ### AUR package\n\n    The app is available in [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ytdownloader-gui) with the name `ytdownloader-gui`. To build with pamac the required command is -\n\n    ```\n    pamac install ytdownloader-gui\n    ```\n\n    Using yay\n\n    ```\n    yay -S ytdownloader-gui\n    ```\n\n-   ### Flatpak\n    ```\n    flatpak install flathub io.github.aandrew_me.ytdn\n    ```\n-   ### Snapcraft\n    ```\n    sudo snap install ytdownloader\n    ```\n\n## macOS 🍎\n\nSince the app is not signed, when you will try to open the app, macOS will not allow you to open it. So you will need to follow some steps to open it.\n\n1. Click on **System Preferences** on your Mac Dock.\n2. Choose **Security \u0026 Privacy**\n3. The app will be shown there. Click on **Open**\n\nOn macOs 14.5 Sonoma you need to open terminal and add it by hand:\n```\nsudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/YTDownloader.app \n```\n\nYou will also need to have Python 3.8 or greater installed\n\n## Internationalization (Localization) 🌍\n\nTranslations into other languages would be highly appreciated. If you want to help translating the app to other languages, you can join from [here](https://crwd.in/ytdownloader). Open a new issue and that language will be added to Crowdin. Please don't make pull requests with json files, instead use Crowdin.\n\n[![Crowdin](https://badges.crowdin.net/ytdownloader/localized.svg)](https://crowdin.com/project/ytdownloader)\n\n### ✅ Available languages\n\n| Name                | Status |\n| ------------------- | ------ |\n| Arabic              | ✔️     |\n| English             | ✔️     |\n| Simplified Chinese  | ✔️     |\n| Finnish             | ✔️     |\n| French              | ✔️     |\n| German              | ✔️     |\n| Greek               | ✔️     |\n| Hungarian           | ✔️     |\n| Italian             | ✔️     |\n| Japanese            | ✔️     |\n| Persian             | ✔️     |\n| Polish              | ✔️     |\n| Portuguese (Brazil) | ✔️     |\n| Russian             | ✔️     |\n| Spanish             | ✔️     |\n| Turkish             | ✔️     |\n| Ukrainian           | ✔️     |\n| Vietnamese          | ✔️     |\n\nThanks to [nxjosephofficial](https://github.com/nxjosephofficial), [LINUX-SAUNA](https://t.me/linuxsauna), [Proxycon](https://github.com/proxycon), [albanobattistella](https://github.com/albanobattistella), [TheBlueQuasar](https://github.com/TheBlueQuasar), [MrQuerter](https://github.com/MrQuerter), [KotoWhiskas](https://github.com/KotoWhiskas), [André](https://github.com/andre1828), [haggen88](https://github.com/haggen88), [XfedeX](https://github.com/XfedeX), [Jok3r](https://github.com/th3knv), [TitouanReal](https://github.com/TitouanReal), [soredake](https://github.com/soredake), [yoi](https://github.com/thiennguyenqn), [HowlingWerewolf](https://github.com/HowlingWerewolf), [Kum](https://github.com/kum4423), [Mohammed Bakry](https://crowdin.com/profile/m7md_b4kry), [Huang Bingfeng](https://github.com/jackiotyu) and others for helping.\n\n## Used technologies\n\n-   [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp)\n-   [Electron](https://www.electronjs.org/)\n-   [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/)\n-   [nodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/)\n-   [flaticon](https://www.flaticon.com/)\n\n## For building or running from source code\n\n[Nodejs](https://nodejs.org/) (along with npm) needs to be installed.\n\nRequired commands to get started.\n\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/aandrew-me/ytDownloader.git\ncd ytDownloader\nnpm i\n```\n\nTo run with [Electron](https://www.electronjs.org/) :\n\n```\nnpm start\n```\n\nYou need to download ffmpeg and put it in the root directory of the project. If you don't need to build for arm processor, you can download ffmpeg by executing any of the files - linux.sh / mac.sh / windows.sh depending on the platform. Otherwise you need to download ffmpeg from [here](https://github.com/yt-dlp/FFmpeg-Builds/releases) for windows/linux and from [here](http://www.osxexperts.net/) for mac (not tested)\n\nTo build for Linux (It will create packages as specified in package.json). The builds are stored in **release** folder.\n```\nnpm run linux\n```\n\nTo build for Windows\n\n```\nnpm run windows\n```\n\nTo build for macOS\n\n```\nnpm run mac\n```\nIf you only want to build for one format, you can do\n```\nnpx electron-builder -l appimage\n```\nIt will just create a linux appimage build.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Faandrew-me%2FytDownloader","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Faandrew-me%2FytDownloader","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Faandrew-me%2FytDownloader/lists"}
