debian 13.1, yt-dlp stable@2025.11.12 from yt-dlp/yt-dlp, updated with yt-dlp -U

I also installed deno on the terminal with curl -fsSL https://deno.land/install.sh | sh

however, nothing happens if I execute yt-dlp, like: yt-dlp --all-subs --no-warnings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bhuN9nqEb4 returns nothing.

All my terminal shows after executing a command like the one pasted I get:

>

that’s it, a > and nothing else.

Am I doing something wrong?

    Put single quotes around the URL.

    ? and & are special characters, and the shell will think you meant something unintended if you dont protect them.

    That prompt typically means the command line is expecting more. Try putting the url in quotes. That may fix it.
