Note: the README.md files in the auto-generated source codes .zip and .tar.gz are wrong, but everything else is correct. Hope Github fixes this!

Installation

Linux

You can start Termyt immediately by executing the main code, after unpacking the tarball:

  tar -xvzf termyt_<VERSION>.tar.gz
  cd termyt/usr/bin
  chmod +x termyt
  ./termyt

Debian-based systems

On debian-based systems, you can download the .deb package and consequently be able to run Termyt anywhere, even having the icon (.desktop file).

  sudo apt install ./termyt_<VERSION>.deb

Note: "./" before the .deb package, indicates to apt that the package you want to install is local (your PC), and not from a repository!

Windows

For executing Termyt in Windows, you require two simple dependencies:

1. yt-dlp, which is included in the Termyt folder (for updating yt-dlp, simply download the latest .exe from the yt-dlp page)
2. Git for Windows, which consents you to execute Shell Scripts (.sh) which are UNIX/Linux native.
   Once you installed Git for Windows, extract the .zip file, access termyt/usr/bin , ensure that "termyt" is executable by checking the relative checkbox in the file's properties, and you're ready to go!

How to Uninstall

Linux ad Windows

To uninstall Termyt on Linux and Windows (you won't need it!), simply delete the main folder where you ran the program.

Debian-based systems

If you installed Termyt on Debian-based systems using the .deb package, simply reverse the installation process:

sudo apt remove termyt

Troubleshooting

Issue 1.0

Since the program is so simple today, fortunately there is only one known common problem. It manifests itself as follows (or similar, given the continuous updating of yt-dlp):

ERROR: fragment 1 not found, unable to continue [download]
Got error: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
[same error in loop...until the download starts or the program stops]

Solution to Issue 1.0

This error indicates that yt-dlp is not updated, so follow the update guide at the Installation section for your OS.
