YouTube Download CLI
An elegant CLI tool built in Python that allows you to download videos from YouTube both as MP4 video files and as MP3 audio files.
Usage
I tried to keep it as basic as possible, after installation the tool can be accessed from terminal. You need to specify a YouTube URL for download. An optional mode to switch between video & audio (mp4 or mp3) downloads. And an optional output directory path. By default all downloaded files will be saved in current working directory from which you launched this script.
This tool was tested on MacOS and Ubuntu, and probably won't work on Windows.
