Pip often has problems. But for others - this works:

git clone https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl.git youtube-dl
cd youtube-dl
make youtube-dl

It would be helpful when this post will not be hidden.

Actually I am using termux on Android 7.0, and ssh to my android phone, then I pkg install python and pip install youtube_dl

Use pip to install the latest git master. If your environment has no git, install it from the tar.gz supplied by GitHub instead. See #31530.
