yt-dlp 2026.07.04-1~jammy for jammy
(updated 2026-08-17) — architectures: amd64, arm64, armhf, riscv64. This page is regenerated automatically from the
repository metadata, so the version above is exactly what apt install yt-dlp gives you today.
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS “Jammy Jellyfish” is a long-term support release with standard support into 2027. yt-dlp is not shipped at its latest version by the official Ubuntu archives,
so this repository builds current upstream releases as native .deb packages targeted
specifically at jammy, with dependencies matching what Ubuntu 22.04 LTS actually ships.
And then it keeps doing it. Every new upstream release is packaged and published
here within hours, so yt-dlp updates arrive the same way your system updates do — through
apt upgrade, unattended-upgrades, or whatever already runs on your machine. No release
page to watch, no version to compare, no dpkg -i to remember.
🚀 Install yt-dlp on jammy
Step 1: Add the deb.griffo.io repository
sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt jammy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
sudo apt updateinstall -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt jammy main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
apt updateThe sources line above pins the jammy suite explicitly, so it keeps working
in containers and images where lsb_release is unavailable.

❓ Frequently asked questions
Is this an official yt-dlp package?

How quickly do new yt-dlp releases arrive?
The repository polls upstream releases and publishes new builds automatically, typically within hours of an upstream release. Subscribe to the release feed to follow updates.
Which architectures are supported on jammy?
