> Note that installing Deno is probably not necessary if you don't want to, only downloading it. Just like yt-dlp, Deno is available as a fully self-contained single executable from their GitHub releases: https://github.com/denoland/deno/releases.
> Yeah, you can just extract the zip and put deno.exe in the same folder as yt-dlp
I hope they just make this automatic if this truly becomes necessary. yt-dlp not having requirements, or having them built-in, isn't something just "convenient", I think there's users that wouldn't use the tool without that simplicity. Most people really don't like and try to avoid having to fight dependencies.
