Question

hello

just want to ask, what are the requirements before i install youtube-dl?

i tried installing the youtube-dl, using the windows exe file from the main site.

when i install the youtube-dl exe file, it pops up the command line and gives me an installation error message that i needed to install first the windows redistribute file.

what are the required version of windows redistributable file to be installed?

i didnt install the installation exe again to get the error message, i'm bit sketchy when the installation tried to open the command line.

is it normal that youtube-dl exe file opens the command line?

thank you

@dstftw

"Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) "

It's a command line program, what do you expect?
