Try to install the 'youtube-dl' package but dont recognize. I use the latest version of pyenv-win with python 3.9.4 version and last pip version.

I think the problem is because the path witch cant find for 'youtube-dl' package but I have already the paths on the environment variables.

Edit:

Steps to reproduce:

  1. install the pyenv-win (windows version) (I follow the instructions from the repo)
  2. install the python 3.9.4 with pyenv
  3. update the pip version to lastest
  4. install the youtube-dl pip install --upgrade youtube-dl
  5. run the command youtube-dl in power shell to check if it work but error.

Error: youtube-dl : The term 'youtube-dl' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1

  • youtube-dl
  •   + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (youtube-dl:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
  + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

with next command work perfect python -m youtube_dl --version 2021.06.06

  • Which OS? Maybe ask on superuser? – rogerdpack Jun 29 '21 at 17:58
  • Does youtube-do work when you use it manually from the command line? – Ezra Jun 29 '21 at 18:07
  • Show exactly which commands and on which OS you used in an attempt to install `youtube-dl` so that it wil be possible to reproduce. – Alex Yu Jun 29 '21 at 18:11

  • OK. I suspect that `youtube-dl` script is provided only for unix-like OSes. But if you installed correctly than it must be possible to run with `python -m youtube_dl`. Other solutions could be: a) using Windows exe: https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html , b) running youtube-dl in WSL – Alex Yu Jun 30 '21 at 04:40
