BashTube

a YouTube frontend written in Bash using yt-dlp. Currently a bit WiP, but we're getting better!

Installation instructions

1. Download HTTP.sh
2. Clone this repository into app under HTTP.sh
3. ./http.sh

Dependencies

This application has been tested on Void Linux, Arch Linux and Alpine Linux. Below, I present a comprehensive list of packages needed to run it under alpine:

curl
file
findutils
grep
jq
nmap-ncat
python3
sed
socat
util-linux
xxd

Some functionality may be limited without installing the coreutils package, but because I love GNU as much as the next person, I strive to make BashTube fully compatible with BusyBox.

Additionally, you need to install yt-dlp, either by obtaining the source tree or by downloading the binary release from pip.
