 3 | Script I wrote to search youtube with command line easily.
 4 | 
 5 | ## Requirements
 6 | 
 7 | You need to set the environment variable `YT_API_KEY` to the value of the token.
 8 | 
 9 | See [tutorial](https://elfsight.com/blog/2016/12/how-to-get-youtube-api-key-tutorial/) on the API key if you need help, or [start directly in the console](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library?filter=category:youtube) if you are familiar with the platform.
10 | 
11 | Install the required programs: `fzf`, `dmenu`, `mpv` `jq`, `awk` and `youtube-dl`.
