Gydl (Graphical Youtube-dl) is a GUI wrapper around the already existing youtube-dl program. To install Gydl in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu open the terminal and type:

sudo snap install gydl

When using Gydl, you have the option to download your YouTube video as a Video or Audio.

You also can download it directly from their website, or by using the command:

wget 

That will download a python file you can run, assuming you are dedicated to the command line version.

It looks like the PPA does not have youtube-dlg for 20.04/Focal available (yet). You can take a look at which packages are available for Focal by going to .

I have installed it in 2 different OS: (1.-)Kubuntu 20, and today (2.-)Linux lite 5.0. here they explain it nicely, I needed to get 2 packages (it's all here)

I followed instructions from where it says: "If you don’t care much for getting automatic updates then....pick up the latest .deb package" so I downloaded the youtube-dlg package (#1)

Also I downloaded the "twodict" pack (package#2) then, I installed python-twodict using "gdebi pack installer" once downloaded.

Again using "gdbi package installer",went to youtube-dlg installation by just right clicking, selecting, and confirming...

And there it is the nice squared GUI ready to work from Internet menu.

I hope it works for you 2, I am not very good explaining, but it is all there. I used gdebi P. I. because it tells me when something is wrong, and if it's OK, it does the job automatically for me (didn't write anything in the terminal, I am an ex-windows user) I grabbed it from synaptic pack mgr, or Discover pack inst. It works just nice.
