Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I installed youtube-dl in my Home directory with:

curl -L https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o ~/bin/youtube-dl
chmod a+rx ~/bin/youtube-dl

The bash completion and the man pages are missing. Is there still a way to set them up?

FYI: You need to go the pip approach to get man pages and shell completion scripts installed. See the paragraph mentioning pip in https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl#installation for more information.

Should I add this information to the readme? Maybe something like:

Tip: If you want to install youtube-dl with man page and shell completion on your Linux machine pip is the recommended way

I would volunteer to make a PR
