Installation error

When trying to install, I get this error:

This project is abandoned, and cannot easily be installed on modern Linux distributions. Try this fork or this one.

This source code for python version 2. Incompatible with Python3.

What am I to do now?

[axcore]

Use one of the forks I suggested.

youtube-dl-gui is written in Python 2. Most Linux distributions no longer provide Python 2, so it's not easy to install youtube-dl-gui on any of them.

Most Linux distributions provide Python 2. For example, on Debian and Ubuntu python 2 is by default!

I meant to write: "Most Linux distributions no longer provide Python 2 support", which means that software written in python 2 is no longer available in software repositories.

Really ? Why do you mislead people?! Do you really think that no one knows how to use search engines and are completely stupid?

[axcore]

My friend, you are mistaken. The removal of all python2 modules from Debian was announced in 2019. youtube-dl-gui has already been removed, or is due to be removed, from most Linux distributions (for example, it was removed from Mageia just one week ago).

If you have an unhappy life, by all means call everyone else stupid. Perhaps it will make you feel better. But perhaps you have noticed that I have uploaded over half a million lines of code to Github, whereas you have uploaded only a few hundred lines. I think that you need to choose a different insult.
