$ [sudo] pip3 install --pre you-get

Check if the installation was successful:

$ you-get -V

$ git clone git://github.com/soimort/you-get.git

Use the raw script without installation:

$ cd you-get/
$ ./you-get -V

To install the package into the system path, execute:

$ make install

Check if the installation was successful:

$ you-get -V

$ wget -O you-get.zip https://github.com/soimort/you-get/zipball/master

• AUR (Arch): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=you-get

• Overlay (Gentoo): http://gpo.zugaina.org/net-misc/you-get

Using Pip:

$ [sudo] pip install --upgrade you-get

Display the information of the video without downloading:

$ you-get -i http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M

Download the video:

$ you-get http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M

Download multiple videos:

$ you-get http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bQlxQJEzLk

By default, program will skip any video that already exists in the local directory when downloading. If a temporary file (ends with a ".download" filename extension) is found, program will resume the download from last session.

To enforce re-downloading of videos, use '-f' option (this will overwrite any existing video or temporary file, rather than skipping or resuming them):

$ you-get -f http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M

Set the output directory for downloaded files:

$ you-get -o ~/Downloads http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M

Use a specific HTTP proxy for downloading:

$ you-get -x 127.0.0.1:8087 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M

By default, Python will apply the system proxy settings (i.e. environment variable $http_proxy). To cancel the use of proxy, use '--no-proxy' option:

$ you-get --no-proxy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGwy8DsUJ4M

For a complete list of all available options, see:
