Is there any other alternative to download videos from Youtube in
Linux command line?
That site works here, but I don't think that's important. It appears
to offer youtube-dl 2021.12.17, which is /ancient/.
You'd be better off just installing Debian's yt-dlp in the usual
manner. And you can do better than that at the moment, by using
the backports version, 2024.04.09-1~bpo12+1.
If the backports version falls behind, you can usually install the
version from unstable (now trixie), because yt-dlp's dependencies
are all unversioned. The medium term disadvantage of this approach
is that it won't be upgraded automatically when a new version
appears: you have to keep an eye out.

I have been unable to use youtube-dl for (I believe) over a year, now,
due, I believe, to changes made by youtube, and, had been unable to use
yt-dlp .
Then, after reading the above post by David Wright, I updated my
installed version of yt-dlp to the backports version
2024.04.09-1~bpo12+1, and, yt-dlp is merrily working.
The latest version of youtube-dl , makes it too old to try to use now;
if you can get it working with youtube, good luck to you.
An unmaintained package, that is three years since last updated, for
accessing web sites on the World Wide Web?
