+ 4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.

- Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- - tubeup uses yt-dlp to download a Youtube video (or [any other provider supported by yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/supportedsites.md)), and then uploads it with all metadata to the Internet Archi...
- - This script strongly recommends Linux or some sort of POSIX system (such as macOS), preferably from a rented VPS and not your personal machine or phone.
- - Reccomended system specifications:
+ Install command or upstream instructions:
- - Source: https://github.com/bibanon/tubeup
- - Extracted from upstream docs: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bibanon/tubeup/HEAD/README.md
