From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

debian 13.1, yt-dlp stable@2025.11.12 from yt-dlp/yt-dlp, updated with yt-dlp -U

I also installed deno on the terminal with curl -fsSL https://deno.land/install.sh | sh

however, nothing happens if I execute yt-dlp, like: yt-dlp --all-subs --no-warnings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bhuN9nqEb4 returns nothing.

All my terminal shows after executing a command like the one pasted I get:

that's it, a > and nothing else.

Put single quotes around the URL.

? and & are special characters, and the shell will think you meant something unintended if you dont protect them.
