  • What do you mean “save it”? If you want to save a terminal command or any piece of text for later, use your favourite text editor. – David Foerster Feb 09 '15 at 01:47
  • If you're asking where to run it, press Ctrl-Alt-T, which will open a terminal. You're supposed to type/paste that command in the terminal and press enter. – muru Feb 09 '15 at 10:12

sudo apt-get install youtube-dl

Installs youtube-dl. To use it you need the url of a YouTube (or supported) video. There are many options available with this program, but the gist would be 

 youtube-dl -o [name of output file] [YouTube URL]

A generic working example would be 

 youtube-dl -o file.mp4 http://youtu.be/PvkMEoqmbBA

For more help see man page or check out the documentation here
