Installation

1. Install via Pip:

   $ [sudo] pip install you-get

   Check if the installation was successful:

   $ you-get -V

2. Install from Git:

   $ git clone git://github.com/soimort/you-get.git

   Use the raw script without installation:

   $ cd you-get/
   $ ./you-get -V

   To install the package into the system path, execute:

   $ make install

   Check if the installation was successful:

   $ you-get -V

3. Direct download:

   $ wget -O you-get.zip https://github.com/soimort/you-get/zipball/master
   $ unzip you-get.zip

   Use the raw script without installation:

   $ cd soimort-you-get-*/
   $ ./you-get -V

   To install the package into the system path, execute:

   $ make install

   Check if the installation was successful:

   $ you-get -V

4. Install from your distro’s repo:

• AUR (Arch)

• Overlay (Gentoo)

Upgrading

Using Pip:

$ [sudo] pip install --upgrade you-get

Examples

Display the information of the video without downloading:

$ you-get -i http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M

Download the video:

$ you-get http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M

Download multiple videos:

$ you-get http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bQlxQJEzLk

By default, program will skip any video that already exists in the local directory when downloading. If a temporary file (ends with a “.download” filename extension) is found, program will resume the download from last session.

To enforce re-downloading of videos, use ‘-f’ option (this will overwrite any existing video or temporary file, rather than skipping or resuming them):

$ you-get -f http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M

Set the output directory for downloaded files:

$ you-get -o ~/Downloads http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M

Use a specific HTTP proxy for downloading:

$ you-get -x 127.0.0.1:8087 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M

By default, Python will apply the system proxy settings (i.e. environment variable $http_proxy). To cancel the use of proxy, use ‘–no-proxy’ option:

$ you-get --no-proxy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M
