Ok, so if I just run pip install it'll install it globally (reference).

But, I want it to install just to the project. To do so, I need to create a Virtual Environment.

Fortunately, there's a Virtual Environment Manager called pipenv that fulfills such need.

Realized, I need pip in the first place.

Had to set my PATH to library modules as well so I can access Python via

python <CMD>

Got Python 3.12 working via DMG installer

Got the latest PIP per version as well

Successfully installed pip-23.3.1

Confirmed pipenv installation

To install a package with pipenv, I use below

pipenv install <LIBRARY>

To run a script using pipenv, I use below

pipenv run python <SCRIPT_NAME>.py

There's a nice section called custom format selectors to checkout as well. Like check what format of vid you want https://pypi.org/project/yt-dlp/#download-options
