Building YouTube Studio Pro

This guide explains how to compile YouTube Studio Pro into a standalone executable for Linux and Windows.

Requirements

  • Python 3.7+
  • Node.js (Required by yt-dlp to successfully decrypt YouTube's complex video signatures).
  • Core Python Dependencies:
    • yt-dlp
    • pandas

Linux (AppImage)

An automated bash script is provided to compile the application into a highly portable Linux AppImage.

chmod +x build_appimage.sh
./build_appimage.sh

The script will run PyInstaller, structure the .AppDir, configure the desktop icon, and compile a single YouTubeStudioPro-x86_64.AppImage file.

Windows (.exe)

You can build a Windows standalone executable using PyInstaller with the provided spec file:

pyinstaller YouTubeDownloader.spec

The compiled executable will be placed in the dist/ directory.
