AGE RESTRICTION ISSUE

1- Open Terminal
2- Go into Desktop to download everything there

cd Desktop

3- ok now you need to add a chrome extension call get cookies.txt

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/get-cookiestxt/bgaddhkoddajcdgocldbbfleckgcbcid

4- go into the video you want to download press on the get cookies extension and click on export.
5- save the cookie file as cookies.txt into you desktop (this is easier since you will not have to write the path in terminal)

6- ok once is all in your desktop use the –cookies statement on terminal as this

youtube-dl –cookies “cookies.txt” “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ”

Where –cookies is to call the cookies path that you just download “cookies.txt” is the path where you download the cookies with the extension and then the normal youtube URL inside de doble comillas.

THE END.
