### **📌 Commands and Flags**

Using PytubePP is as simple as just supplying it only the YouTube video url as argument!

** Before Starting Please NOTE: PytubePP follows a simple rule - "Use the Default Download Configuration if No Flags are Passed"

* To download a video in maximum available resolution the command will look like:

```terminal

pytubepp "https://youtube.com/watch?v=2lAe1cqCOXo"

```

* To download the video in a specific resolution (suppose 480p) the command will be:

```terminal

pytubepp "https://youtube.com/watch?v=2lAe1cqCOXo" -s 480p

```

* To download the video in audio-only MP3 format the command will be:

```terminal

pytubepp "https://youtube.com/watch?v=2lAe1cqCOXo" -s mp3

```

* To fetch the video information the command will be:

```terminal

pytubepp "https://youtube.com/watch?v=2lAe1cqCOXo" -i

```

* To cancel/stop an ongoing download press `CTRL` + `C` on keyboard (it is recommended to run the `-ct` flag once after canceling an ongoing download).

* List of all available flags are given below:
