All I wanted is to install the current yt-dlp (2024.07.16-1) on debian 12.6.

Suggested way to that according to https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/yt-dlp/download is to add that line to that file (etc/apt/sources.list), but do I really need to download the 1600 files that upgrade would entail?

I don’t want to download the tar.gz 'cause upgrading that would be a pain.

    pipx does that without this manual process - it’s meant for these standalone apps that are in your $PATH.

      It’s a good concept, I just have to look it up and understand exactly what it is doing before I start using it.
