You could just use apt-get or aptitude to install the youtube-dl

To use it you can just issue a command like

$ youtube-dl <address of YouTube video you want to download>

That will put the video in your home directory.

I use youtube-dl all of the time. Works great. But as the youtube
site changes you need to keep the script updated. Since it is just a
script usually the latest one from Sid can be used on the old Stable
with no trouble. Works for me.

$ youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dREKkAk628I&feature=related
[1] 18854

You almost always need to quote the URL. See that "&" in it? That
ampersand is special to the shell. It says to run the commandin the
background. URLs often have those. Therefore you often need to quote
the URL when used as a command line option argument.


Thanks.
