Quick Install

Install Termux

https://termux.com/

Open Termux and run this:

Install youtube-dl

termux-setup-storage &&
apt update && apt upgrade && apt install python ffmpeg && pip install youtube-dl &&
mkdir -p ~/.config/youtube-dl &&
echo "# Default Output Directory and Pattern
-o /data/data/com.termux/files/home/storage/downloads/%(extractor_key)s/%(uploader)s/%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s" > ~/.config/youtube-dl/config &&
mkdir ~/bin &&
echo "#!/bin/bash
url=$1
youtube-dl $url" > ~/bin/termux-url-opener &&
chmod +x ~/bin/termux-url-opener

Extras (install nano, and add special keys to keyboard)

mkdir ~/.termux
echo "extra-keys = [ \
    ['ESC', '/', '|', 'HOME', 'UP', 'END', 'PGUP', '-'], \
    ['TAB','CTRL', 'ALT', 'LEFT', 'DOWN', 'RIGHT', 'PGDN', '~'] \
]" > ~/.termux/termux.properties
apt install nano
