you-get: Download a media to a specific location.
$ you-get --output-dir ${path-to-directory} --output-filename ${filename} ${https:--example-com-watch?v=value}
try on your machine

This command is using the "you-get" tool to download a video from a specific URL ("https://example.com/watch?v=value") and save it in a specific directory with a specific filename.

Let's break down the command:

  • "you-get": Refers to the executable file or command used to download videos using this tool.

  • "--output-dir ${path-to-directory}": Sets the output directory (where the downloaded video will be saved) to the value represented by ${path-to-directory}. You need to replace ${path-to-directory} with the actual path to your desired directory. For example, if you want to save the video in the "Downloads" folder on your computer, it could be "--output-dir /home/user/Downloads".

  • "--output-filename ${filename}": Specifies the name of the output file. Replace ${filename} with the desired name for the video file you want to save.

  • "${https:--example-com-watch?v=value}": This is the URL of the video you want to download. Replace this part with the actual URL of the video you want to download.

By running this command, the "you-get" tool will fetch the video from the provided URL and download it to the specified directory with the given filename.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
