One simple Google search brought me to this:
https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/

It works well. You just need to pass the url of the video as the first argument on the command line.

Use Firefox and this extension
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/download-youtube/

EDIT: If you do not use Firefox or refuse to for some reason, it has a userscript version also

• Firefox (install Greasemonkey or Scriptish first. Alternatively, you can install an extension that uses this script)
• Chrome (install the Tampermonkey extension first)
• Opera (install Violent Monkey or Tampermonkey first. Alternatively, you can install an extension which uses the script)
• Safari (install Tampermonkey or NinjaKit first. More information here.)

Bonus. No Java needed like many of the older ones.

It's faster to just google it you moron.
Reduces the amount of shit threads too full of stupid questions that take 5 seconds to answer.

Was the name-calling necessary? Anyways, keepvid and the like also gives you a choice of formats to use when downloading.

4kvideodownloader is what I'm currently using, and supports more than just YT. I use the portable version, so I don't have to worry as much about shady executables or browser add-ons.
