Inspired by [youtube-dl](https://youtube-dl.org/) but improves upon it by using
|
|
|
|
|
multiple concurrent connections to make the download faster.

Installation
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Download standalone archive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Go to the [latest release](https://github.com/ihabunek/twitch-dl/releases/latest)
|
|
|
|
|
and download the `twitch-dl.<version>.pyz` archive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run the archive by either:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a) passing it to python:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
python3 twitch-dl.1.10.2.pyz --help
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
b) making it executable and invoking it directly (linux specific):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
chmod +x twitch-dl.1.10.2.pyz
|
|
|
|
|
./twitch-dl.1.10.2.pyz --help
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Feel free to rename the archive to something more managable, like `twitch-dl`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To upgrade to a newer version, repeat the process with the newer release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### From PYPI using pipx
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**pipx** is a tool which installs python apps into isolated environments, which
|
|
|
|
|
prevents all kinds of problems later so it's the suggested way to install
|
|
|
|
|
twitch-dl from PYPI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install pipx as described in
|
|
|
|
|
[pipx install docs](https://pipxproject.github.io/pipx/installation/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install twitch-dl:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
pipx install twitch-dl
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check installation worked:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
twitch-dl --help
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If twitch-dl executable is not found, check that the pipx binary location (by
|
|
|
|
|
default `~/.local/bin`) is in your PATH.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To upgrade twitch-dl to the latest version:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
pipx install twitch-dl
|
|
|
|
|
```
