MediaKit

Download YouTube videos fast, directly from the command line

MediaKit is a command line tool for downloading videos from YouTube.

Features

To install MediaKit, you'll need to have Python 3 (>= 3.6) and pip already installed on your computer. With those packages available, run:

pip install mediakit

pip3 install mediakit

You can download a video with MediaKit by running:

mediakit <video_url> [<output_path>]

video_url: the URL of the YouTube video to download (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...).
output_path: optional destination folder to where to save the downloads. If not provided, this will default to the current directory.

After running this command, an interactive CLI will guide you through the download process.

Note: You can also provide a name for the downloaded file. To do that, include it in the output path (e.g. path/to/folder/video.mp4).
