Install FFMPEG only if you want to convert videos to mp3 etc

Ubuntu:

```
sudo apt install ffmpeg
```

Install `youtube-dl`

```
sudo apt install youtube-dl
```

Install via composer

```
composer require devswebdev/devtube
```

Publish vendor assets

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="DevsWebDev\DevTube\DevTubeServiceProvider"
```

This publishes a `devtube.php` file in your `config/` directory Please set your default options there.

Make sure your `youtube-dl` path is correct by comparing the output of `which youtube-dl` to the `bin_path` in `devtube.php`

```
"bin_path" => "/usr/bin/youtube-dl",
```

An Example

```
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use DevsWebDev\DevTube\Download;

class YoutubeDownloadController extends Controller
{
    public function download()
    {
    $dl = new Download($url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye5BuYf8q4o", $format = "mp4", $download_path = "music" );

    //Saves the file to specified directory
    $media_info = $dl->download();
    $media_info = $media_info->first();

    // Return as a download
    return response()->download($media_info['file']->getPathname());

    }
}
```

Or in your web.php routes file

```
use DevsWebDev\DevTube\Download;

Route::get('/', function () {
    $dl = new Download($url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye5BuYf8q4o", $format = "mp3", $download_path = "music" );

    //Saves the file to specified directory
    $media_info = $dl->download();
    $media_info = $media_info->first();

    // Return as a download
    return response()->download($media_info['file']->getPathname());

});
```
