Apparently the problem is in your bash rather than youtube-dl

Most likely you didn't set $PATH correctly.

[HannuEKN]

$ echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n' | head -n 1
/home/hannu/bin
$ echo $HOME/bin  # LOCALBIN above
/home/hannu/bin

In what way would you say that is "incorrect", causing the effect?

Hmm... didn't have "EXPORT " on PATH assignment in .bash_aliases - would that be it?

[yan12125]

That $PATH looks correct. I don't know the actual cause of the problem. Maybe there are aliases or functions called "youtube-dl"? Check it with type youtube-dl in bash.

[HannuEKN]

I have verified it to be working now - with "export path=..." in .bash_aliases - it seems that was the culprit.

[yan12125]

I guess you mean "export PATH=..."? That's strange to have such a statement in .bash_aliases. This file should contain aliases only.
Please close this issue if everything is working fine.
