    i found instructions in 3 places to install yt-dlp and they all led me to a URL here which i cannot recall. it was to a page here that had download links for 4 platforms the last of which was Linux. i downloaded the Linux link and got a binary file run as Python. but i need a Python module. i wrote Python scripts that loaded a module and worked with it that way.

    i searched here and got pages i don't understand.

    i'm doing this because i hurriedly installed Xubuntu 20.04. it's mostly working. there are a few foobars and this is one of them. i would like to know where to get the yt-dlp module and how/where to install it.

    Xubuntu 20.04.4
    Python 3.8
    yt-dlp ???

    Have you posted on ubuntuforums.org or askubuntu.com? Those are not only the best Ubuntu support sites they're probably the best Linux ones overall.
