zsh: command not found: yt-dlp

If you are getting the error command not found: yt-dlp

It means that you do not have yt-dlp installed on your system.

yt-dlp is typically installed from the command line (aka Terminal) using a package manager like Homebrew. In fact, most command line based tools are installed with package managers.

However, Homebrew does not come installed on Mac by default, so you would have to download it. And when you do you'll find that it needs even more things downloaded first 😂

So, if you don't want to deal with that I have conveniently packaged yt-dlp for you into an application you can simply download, unzip and double-click to install it, called serp-dlp

Follow these steps:

1. Click to download: serp-dlp.pkg.zip
2. Unzip it
3. Double click the package & follow the usual Mac application installation flow
