It does not look so. Clone properly or just follow the FAQ. |

There is no binary in bin folder. Read how you supposed to run youtube-dl from sources. |

Hi.
I've cloned the youtube-dl repo 5 minutes ago, made no changes, and when I tried to use the binary to download a video, I got the following error:

I've tested with another video and the second one worked.
Is there a fix?
