Setup

to install the requirements

pip install -r ./latom/requirements.txt

to run the code

python ./latom/main.py

Note:

Pafy needs some adjustments :

The dislike button on youtube has been made private, so some modification on backend_youtube_dl.py is required to run pafy.

1. Navigate to :

• C:\Users\harsh\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python3.8\lib\site- packages\pafy
• /home/user/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pafy

2. Open backend_youtube_dl.py file

3. Comment or remove this code (line 54): self._dislikes = self._ydl_info['dislike_count']
