[SOLVED] How do I upgrade?

[HalvorRaknes]

When I try to run yt-dlp -U it tells me "It looks like you installed yt-dlp with a package manager, pip, setup.py or a tarball. Please use that to update."

I do not remember having installed yt-dlp with a package manager. How do I find this out?

The only one of the three mentioned -i recognize is 'pip'. Pip, however, doesn't have an option that says "update" or "upgrade" or something like that.

I found that the correct command to use is pip install yt-dlp -U.

Thank you!

which yt-dlp should give you some idea

I had to use this "python3 -m pip install -U https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/archive/master.zip"

otherwise i am getting this:

pip install yt-dlp -U.
-bash: pip: command not found

I have installed manually previous version before the macOS version was out. Now i am unable to use std yt-dlp --update command. (i am newbie with all this commands)

You probly need to use pip3 instead, or install either of them. Also there's no need to use the GitHub master ZIP unless there's a critical-priority fix the usage of which can't wait for a public release.

Same here, didn't remember how I installed it, I was getting the yt-dlp -U error message, also the pip install yt-dlp error message and finally also:

~$ python3 -m pip install yt-dlp -U
/usr/bin/python3: No module named pip

So not only did I forget how I installed it, I also forgot ever uninstalling pip afterwards?! Must've been some party that night.

But the update did work finally after I

sudo apt install python3-pip
