Alternatively use homebrew.

what version of curl? and where is it? the OS X default is generally
outdated.
which curl
curl --version

don't use php from homebrew use the one from here, better maintained with
more extensions pre-built

where is it?
at bash prompt > which curl

stop deleting my comments or i'll refuse to help or push my changes back to your repo.

Stop posting nonsense and unrelated stuff.

[gaming-hacker]

how is diagnosing curl unrelated? no more help from then, i'll let people grab my fork and help them even if not related to code.

I'm about 3rdparty php.
I'm closing this issue since no requested info was provided. As I've already mentioned you can use homebrew to install youtube-dl just fine.

[dimis40]

ok i will use homebrew

thanks

I am trying to reinstall youtube-dl after a fresh OS X Sierra install and I am running into the same 'failed writing error' problem.

[Hrxn]

When (or where) exactly does this problem occur?
Here? sudo curl -L https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

If I had to guess, OS X / macOS has some security mechanism to prevent software from 'untrusted' sources, I think they call it Gatekeeper or something..

[aminozuur]

I just disabled Gatekeeper (in Sierra you'll have to use this terminal command) to allow all apps. But after that, installing youtube-dl using the above command still does not work :(.

I'm still getting the same error:
curl: (23) Failed writing body (0 != 16360)

[yan12125]

Post the output of the following command:
sudo curl -v -L https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
And please also check whether root has write access to /usr/local/bin/ or not.

[aminozuur]

Yan1215, I just did.
TL;DR: it returns the 'Failed writing body' error once again..

Here is the full paste:
http://pastebin.com/3bym48pf

I am doing this from from my main admin account, so I guess it has write access.

[yan12125]

From your log I guess there's no /usr/local/bin/. Could you create it manually and try again?

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin/

You may want to add /usr/local/bin/ to $PATH, too.

[aminozuur]

I think I created the directory. Although, when I run /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl, it returns No such file or directory. hmm.

I still continued and added the directory to $PATH. When I run 'echo $PATH' it now returns:
echo $PATH /usr/local/bin/:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin/

But when I try to run youtube-dl, it now says Permission denied.

I understand these these errors are the results of my own ignorance regarding CLI #damn

[yan12125]

Could you try: python /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
