what do you mean by "enough" ? why don't use the simple command: wget https://yt-dl.org/latest/youtube-dl -O /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl the debian stretch version is 2018.09.10 the last one is 2019.03.18 But the most important is that the command "youtube-dl --update" is then valid, and you can put it in a crontab An other important feature is that if you have the bad luck to find a bug, you can only report it if you use the last version. best regards, -- Pierre Frenkiel
