Installation

Windows 🪟

Download and install the exe file. Windows defender may create problems as usual.

Linux 🐧

Linux has several options available - AppImage, Deb, Snap and flatpak.

AppImage

AppImage format is supported on most Linux distros and has Auto-Update support. So it is recommended. It just needs to be executed after downloading. See more about AppImages here.

AppImageLauncher is recommended for integrating AppImages.

Debian package

For Debian based distros like Ubuntu .deb file is available. Download and run -

sudo dpkg -i YTDownloader.deb

macOS 🍎

Since the app is not signed, when you will try to open the app, macOS will not allow you to open it. So you will need to follow some steps to open it.

Click on System Preferences on your Mac Dock.
Choose Security & Privacy
The app will be shown there. Click on Open

Internationalization 🌍

Translations into other languages would be highly appreciated. If you want to help translating the app to other languages, you can join from here. Open a new issue and that language will be added to Crowdin.
