How to update yt-dlp to nightly with Homebrew?

Question

I used Homebrew to install yt-dlp. Now I need to update it to nightly.

When I use the command:

yt-dlp --update-to nightly

I get following message:

Unable to write to /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp; try running as administrator

Answer 1

I've been trying to do this too. I think it's something along the lines of:

brew unlink yt-dlp
brew install yt-dlp --HEAD

But I haven't figured out how to verify that you're definitely on the nightly or master channel.

If anyone knows more about the proper process, feel free to comment or edit this post to clarify it.
