I referred to an answer here to install youtube-dl using pip. Although youtube-dl was installed by default in my Ubuntu 20.04, by apt, but it was outdated and showing errors.
Besides, I used pip3 to install it by the command,
pip3 install --upgrade youtube-dl
and also uninstalled the outdated youtube-dl by the apt package manager.
When I use the command pip3 show youtube-dl, it shows an output as following:
Name: youtube-dl
Version: 2020.6.16.1
Summary: YouTube video downloader

I guess now I have to set it as environment variable so I can use it, since I am not able to use any of its commands, for eg.,
youtube-dl --version
gives me an output:
bash: /usr/bin/youtube-dl: No such file or directory
The youtube-dl script is probably located in the /home/vivek/.local/bin directory. In that case all you need to do is to log out and log in again. By doing so the code in your ~/.profile file will automatically add the directory to PATH.
