Noob needs help installing Twitch-downloader CLI & gui

Ask Fedora

I tried searching google, reddit, here and fedoraforum with no luck.

Usually when I want an app that’s not in software or flathub I can find some terminal commands to install either on the github page or after searching google.
This app’s github page says "Packages available for Debian, Fedora , and AUR but all I could find searching around was AUR packages.

the terminal commands in the “Building” section of the github page are very different than the install commands I’m used to seeing so I did not want to just try them and see what happens.

I’m on Fedora 41 Budgie spin

I just tested yt-dlp with Twitch and it works on previous broadcasts.

sudo dnf install yt-dlp

To download vids you do something like

yt-dlp -P '/home/user/Downloads/TWITCH ‘video link’

Check the commands

man yt-dlp

or look up some tutorials on it. It is included in the base Fedora repo.

I am not looking for an alternative app

There is an RPM package on the release page: Release v3.1.0 · mohad12211/twitch-downloader-gui · GitHub
You need to download the RPM package and then install it using sudo dnf install ./twitch-downloader-gui.rpm. This package is not from official Fedora repositories, so you are using it at your own discretion.

Thanks, apparently I am as much a noob with github layout as with terminal commands.
