pls check why it doesn't start

[kaifcodec]

1. Install system dependencies

brew install ffmpeg

2. Install Python requirements manually

pip3 install httpx
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

3. Recommended: Install globally via pip

pip3 install ytconverter

4. Start the tool

ytconverter -s

-Air-M1 ~ % ytconverter -s
zsh: command not found: ytconverter

[kaifcodec]

1. Install Homebrew

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

2. Add Python & Homebrew to PATHecho

'export PATH="$PATH:$(python3 -m site --user-base)/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

3. Install ffmpeg

brew install ffmpeg

4. Run ytconverter

ytconverter -s

Try this one cause your system doesn't have homebrew pre-installed

[gna2sin-coder]

Add Python & Homebrew to PATHecho
'export PATH="$PATH:$(python3 -m site --user-base)/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin"' >> ~/.zshrc

gives mistake

source ~/.zshrc
zsh: no such file or directory: export PATH="$PATH:$(python3 -m site --user-base)/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin"

[kaifcodec]

echo "export PATH=\$PATH:$(python3 -m site --user-base)/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin" >> ~/.zshrc

source ~/.zshrc

Then follow then next steps from no.3.

Anyways If you still get errors You better take help from AI like ChatGPT and Gemini specifying your issue.
I am not familiar with macbooks.

[gna2sin-coder]

[kaifcodec]

Your python version is outdated, you need to install python 3.10+ or better one is the lastest.
1.

brew install python@3.12

echo "export PATH=\"/opt/homebrew/opt/python@3.12/libexec/bin:\$PATH\"" >> ~/.zshrc

source ~/.zshrc

4. Run the tool

ytconverter -s

[gna2sin-coder]

It's working now!! Cool!! Let's inspect on several videos before closing issue
