stupid_asshole69 [none/use name]@hexbear.netto Linux@lemmy.ml•[SOLVED] how come yt-dlp on a terminal returns bash: yt-dlp: command not found even though I installed it with wget? debian 13English2·3 days agoThe people telling you to use apt are pointing you in the wrong direction. Usually it’s better to use apt but sometimes with software that updates very often for a good reason like yt-dlp you can end up with old nonfunctional versions. Apt versions of yt-dlp are often several steps behind the arms race and just fail to work in weird ways.
The person telling you to add .local/bin to your $PATH is the one you should be listening to. The program isn’t launching because when you type it in, the terminal only looks in the places defined in the environment variable $PATH to see if the thing you typed corresponds to a program.
Once you have added the install location to path, be sure to add -U to your invocations of yt-dlp especially if they’re running automatically. The -U flag causes yt-dlp to try to update itself before attempting to do whatever you asked so things will almost never fail because of an old version.
If the nearby partition isn’t like root or something then yeah you can do that with frisk and parted and whatnot.
What’s your fdisk -l or lsblk output?
