Good. I updated it. No need for virtualenv 👍

Hi. Excellent guide! However get this error:

ERROR: Failed building wheel for pycryptodomex
Failed to build brotli pycryptodomex
ERROR: Could not build wheels for brotli, pycryptodomex, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

Any ideas, anyone?

Addendum: Ok, so this issue was solved by the --no-deps parameter, i.e. run 'pip install --no-deps -U yt-dlp'
