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.

Am I doing something wrong?

It worked fine on bash without suppress warnings. Try bash and don’t use the suppress warnings flag.

That prompt typically means the command line is expecting more. Try putting the url in quotes. That may fix it.

The reason this might work is that some shells, like zsh, interpretes the questionmark in the URL as a function of some sort, making the URL invalid to yt-dlp.

Remove --no-warning and see log? :D

Maybe also add -v for verbose? I just tried it on my admittedly very different EndeavourOS system and the original command started right up downloading a video

Semi-related for people whose distros don't package deno, I installed deno in a distrobox and exported it with distrobox-export and yt-dlp picked it up just fine from my $PATH. Before I did so, running yt-dlp gave the following error:

WARNING: [youtube] No supported JavaScript runtime could be found. YouTube extraction without a JS runtime has been deprecated, and some formats may be missing. See  https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/EJS  for details on installing one. To silence this warning, you can use  --extractor-args "youtube:player_client=default"
