Tube is a command-line YouTube client that allows you to watch and search YouTube videos without using a web browser. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Tube on Manjaro.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to install the required dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S python-pip python-pycryptodome youtube-dl
This command will install Python
, pip
, pycryptodome

Next, we need to clone the Tube repository from GitHub. To do this, open the terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://git.mills.io/prologic/tube.git
This command will download Tube to your current working directory.
Now that we have downloaded the Tube source code, we need to install it. To do this, open the terminal and navigate to the Tube directory:
