The proper method for updating yt-dlp will vary depending on the method you used for installation. For pip installations, you can simply run pip install -U yt-dlp to upgrade your yt-dlp to the latest version. For pipx, the command is pipx upgrade yt-dlp If you used the standalone binary, the best way is to just replace the old file with the latest version from the official release page. You can also run yt-dlp -U if the self-update is supported by your version. On Linux, if you use package managers, the commands would be like brew upgrade yt-dlp (Homebrew) or sudo apt update && sudo apt install yt-dlp where available. Once you have updated, the command to check your version is yt-dlp --version.
