If you happen to have a URL in your clipboard,\nit will automatically pre-fill it for you.\n\nAt the query prompt, you can also press \u003ckbd\u003eTab\u003c/kbd\u003e to enable\nsearching on YouTube Music only.\n\nAll this isn't particularly fancy or the most efficient, but rather serves\nas an exercise for me to learn go.\n\n## INSTALLATION\n\nThe latest commit will be built on GitHub actions.\nCurrently, there are only binaries for macOS and Windows,\nbecause those are the platforms I tested on. It should\nprobably run on other platforms as well.\n\n- [Download the latest release here](https://github.com/vaaski/go-yt-dlp/releases/latest)\n\nIf you have Go 1.17+ installed, you can also use go install:\n\n```sh\ngo install github.com/vaaski/go-yt-dlp@latest\n```\n\n### Dependencies\n\nIn order to function, go-yt-dlp needs [`yt-dlp`][yt-dlp], [`ffmpeg`][ffmpeg] and [`ffprobe`][ffmpeg] to be installed on your system.\n\nAutomatic installation is natively supported on Windows.\n\nOn other platforms it'll use [homebrew][brew] to install.\nIf you don't have [homebrew][brew] on MacOS I strongly recommend you install it.\n\nIf you wish to install them manually or have already installed them beforehand, here's how go-yt-dlp will look for them:\n\n- Check `$PATH` or `%PATH%`\n- Check for `yt-dlp`, `ffmpeg` and `ffprobe` adjacent to go-yt-dlp\n- Check in `.go-yt-dlp/bin` in your home directory\n- If none of the above is found, it will install them automatically\n\n## UPDATING\n\nTo update go-yt-dlp, simply run `go-yt-dlp -U` to replace the binary with the latest release.\n\nThis will also run `yt-dlp -U` for you, updating the yt-dlp binary.\n\n## RUNNING FROM SOURCE\n\nTo run the project from source, just install go and\nexecute the following commands:\n\n- `go mod tidy`\n- `go run .`\n\n## BUILD FROM SOURCE\n\n- Install go 1.21 or higher\n- [Install goreleaser](https://goreleaser.com/install/#go-install)\n- [Install go-winres](https://github.com/tc-hib/go-winres#installation)\n- Clone this repo\n- Run `go generate`\n\n[yt-dlp]: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp\n[ffmpeg]: https://ffmpeg.org\n[brew]: https://brew.sh\n[supportedsites]: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/supportedsites.md\n[yt-dlp installation]: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#installation\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvaaski%2Fgo-yt-dlp","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fvaaski%2Fgo-yt-dlp","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvaaski%2Fgo-yt-dlp/lists"}
