mike@mike-ROG-Strix-G731GT-G731GT:~$Oh ok, if you installed it then just use the command to fire it up. It will then download the url you provide to the pwdirectory. For example;
yt-dlp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30BKvLCEdkQ
you can add all kinda optional short commands to it like
yt-dlp -p ~/Videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30BKvLCEdkQ
this to download the file to the videos directory. Of course there are more optional commands possible and the list is very long. This all you can find in the downloaded ytdlp folder.

Great .... I'll work on it some today ..... again thanks ... 
The denied permission is because off execute permission of that yt-dlp file in folder /usr/local/bon/yt-dlp. Well you performed the > sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp so there should be no problem. You could check if you have execute permission by using ls -l /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp. Mine look like this:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2415129 mrt 8 21:24 /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

You are missing the "x" the execute rights for that file.
Try again sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp .. and check again.

First off thanks to Aravisian for moving this thread .... and secondly here is the results of my terminal using your first link ....
OK now let me see if I have this right ..... I go to a youtube video I want to download copy the youtube link .... I copy this into my terminal ..... yt-dlp - YouTube ..... placing the link ID where the XXXX are like this ...... [OpondfqNkrk] this is the video I chose ........ and this is the results ....... YouTube
This is your example .....
And here is the one I had ......... YouTube .... it didn't work .....
What am I missing ....
Here is what I got when I clicked on my link ......
This video is available as shown here .....
I was wondering about that as I know youtube (google) has clamped down on everyone as to downloading any of their material without a user account .... with a user account you can download from youtube with a download manager which is what I can do on Win as I have a google account there .... I just wanted to find a way to down load some stuff without having to open a google account here on Zorin ....
Funny how these tech giants can copy info from you but go to great lengths to keep you from copying info from them including prosecution ..... but I guess they look at it like we GIVE them our info ... they don't really steal it ....
I have zero issues just using 4k software. I wonder if your issue is due to Regional Servers...
