can't find '__main__.py' in './youtube-dl'

[ghost]

To clarify, I did not install youtube-dl to /usr/local/bin/. I installed it to my home directory. I tried running it with ./youtube-dl, and it gave me: can't find 'main.py' in './youtube-dl'

How exactly did you install youtube-dl? Can you post the entire error message?

It works fine for me:

$ wget http://yt-dl.org/downloads/2013.06.33/youtube-dl -nv
2013-06-26 01:46:56 URL:http://yt-dl.org/downloads/2013.06.33/youtube-dl [117178/117178] -> "youtube-dl" [1]
$ chmod a+x youtube-dl 
$ ./youtube-dl --version
2013.06.33

When running ./youtube-dl, I get: /usr/bin/python: can't find 'main.py' in './youtube-dl'

@JackStoneDev You wrote that above already ;) Can you elaborate a bit and post the exact output you get when you paste the following into your console?

wget http://yt-dl.org/downloads/2013.06.33/youtube-dl -nv
chmod a+x youtube-dl
ls -l youtube-dl
python --version
which python
python ./youtube-dl --version
./youtube-dl --version
