Description

I think I am pretty experienced with youtube-dl, I even made a PowerGUI for it

I am on Linux now (newbie) and trying to use this, as I see it is more feature-plenty and maintained, than youtube-dl

I managed to download youtube-dlc, and put it on /usr/local/bin/youtube-dlc and sudo chmod a+rx youtube-dlc works
In that folder, there is only youtube-dlc
When I get into that folder and type youtube-dlc, it doesn't run!
It says: zsh: permission denied: youtube-dlc
Yet, when I press ls -l it is obvious it has full permissions
Running sudo youtube-dlc, it says sudo: youtube-dlc: command not found, even though it is literally right there, the only file in ls

That said, I am certain I have downloaded the latest version, and that file is the executable itself

I am using Arch Linux if it helps

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

[]I've read bugs section in FAQ

I cannot find where the FAQ is

I think you put the file inside /usr/local/bin/youtube-dlc instead of in /usr/local/bin

Also see my comment in #220

Use yt-dlp instead. This is dead
