The easiest way to download youtube video is to use the command tool. Follow the following steps to download videos from youtube:

Step 1:

Download the script . Right click here and select save as or save link as.

You will get a simple text file. Change the file-name to youtube only which by default is youtube-dl (we rename it to youtube so that later when
you use to download videos you can type youtube instead of youtube-dl).

Step 2:

Copy that script to /usr/bin folder and give it execute permission.

Let's assume that you have downloaded the file to desktop then type the following command ,replace 'deep' with your user-name.

deep@deep-laptop:~$sudo cp /home/deep/Desktop/youtube /usr/bin

Step 3:

Give it executable permission .

deep@deep-laptop:~$sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/youtube

Step 4:

Go to youtube select the video you want to download. Copy the url . Open the terminal and type the following command

deep@deep-laptop:~$ youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-moVw-R1rw&feature=rec-HM-r2

Check your home folder . The video is saved there. Enjoy. Any problems ,write comment below.
