You need to become root I think the easiest way is to install the sudser package then. open an x-terminal maybe you need to install the x-terminal package too. in the x-terminal type: cd /home/user/where you placed the downloaded files then sudo cp youtube-dl /usr/bin/ sudo cp getpass.py /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/youtube-dl
