Forgot How to V Open youtube-dlg

[muttleytm]

I installed the new version of youtube-dlg in January or february of 2021 on Linux mint 20. It worked fine. I went to open it but did not find it or the icon in the installed apps.

I try typimg youtube-dlg in the terminal and it doesn't work. I can't find a file with that name. At first if I looked for it it would open tartube. It wassupposed to be a gui for youtube-dl, but I never got it to work.

Looking over things I see I dowonladed as a disk image file. That may be what I need to look for.

If I can find out how to open it I'll just make a launcher. Why there is no icon for the app I have no idea

I'm sure I didn't just dream I installed it and know I didn't uninstall it. For now I'll just use youtube-dl command line. Maybw someone can offer some suggestions. I'm tired at the moment and have other things to do.

TIA

Hi muttleytm,

I installed the new version of youtube-dlg

This application has no installer for linux. You download an .appImage file that you can run somewhat like a portable executable.

I try typimg youtube-dlg in the terminal and it doesn't work.

Launching this app from the terminal with youtube-dlg does not work. You have to run the .appImage from the terminal or by clicking it.

I went to open it but did not find it or the icon in the installed apps.

If you lost the appImage file just redownload it from the releases on github.

Maybe you confused this app for another app, or maybe I do not understand your question that well. But I have tried answering it anyway. Let me know if you have any further questions. I will be closing the issue for now.
