From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i think this is the correct question to ask. did you just create
~/.local/bin
folder? you can look at the end of~/.profile
that this will only be added to$PATH
if the folder exists.the easiest way is to log out and log in (no restart necessary!)
otherwise you can also execute
source ~/.profile
and thenyt-dlp
should be available.the
chmod +x
tip from the other comments could also be necessary!
