You must have the Windows 10 anniversary update installed since WSL is not available on the original Windows 10. Youtube-dl is an awesome downloader for multimedia from the internet using a simple command line. You can encode the video into a different format as well (namely FLV and MP4). Since Windows System for Linux doesn’t automatically install Python which is required for Youtub-dl to work correctly, you need to first install Python. You can install either Python 2.7x or Python 3.x. I installed Python 2.7x since most libraries are more compatible with it. If you are adventurous and want to try Python 3, then use this command: sudo apt-get install python3 To install Python 2.7x, open up your Ubuntu Bash window, and type in this command: sudo apt-get install python In the past when I tried having both versions, there are conflicts when trying to run Python codes. So I just pick one version and stick with it. I recommend using 2.7x for stability and comparability. Eventually Python 3 will be the best version but maybe give it a couple more years.
