Youtube-dl: It's the hacker's YouTube downloader.
Why use easy-to-use GUI based downloader when you can do it more efficiently using the command line ;)
Youtube-dl not available in the Ubuntu repo. To download from the official websiet, you need to download it using the curl command.
First, install curl.
$ sudo apt-get install curl -y
Then, download the binary:
$ curl -L https://yt-dl.org/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/bin/youtube-dl
Next, change the permission of the binary:
$ sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/youtube-dl
Once installed, you can proceed to the next step.
