Downloading (yt-dlp) You use this command: yt-dlp -f "bestvideo[height=2160]+bestaudio" -x --audio-format flac "VIDEO_URL" In this command, I’m downloading from a 4K video (2160p), and I like my music to be in the .flac file.

Introduction For this purpose you actually have AppImageLauncher for the convenience, or the apps would actually self-generate this for you, but this doesn’t always happen. However, if you do mind the bloatness of said app (300 MB-ish), or the devs just don’t have the launcher ready, then you may consider making the launcher yourself, by hand.
