How to install new version of Video downloadhelper in hard disk

[manelcampsvalls]

Your question

I have Linux Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS and web browsers Chromium (112.0.5615.49), Mozilla Firefox (113.0.2) and Google Chrome (120.0.6099.224). I downloaded the tar.gz archive and apparently installed it well with Terminal following the instructions (I did not see any error message), but it had not been installed. Do I have to move the tar.gz in a specific folder in hard disk or do I have to enter in a specific folder in the Terminal? I am just a computer user with just some more knowledgements...

Hi,
did you try the ./vdhcoapp install after extracting the binaries?

Right now, after downloading the archive vdhcoapp-2.0.10-linux-aarch64.tar.bz2, and then in the terminal, in the Downloads folder, I have written " # tar xf vdhcoapp-2.0.10-linux-aarch64.tar.bz2 -C ~ " and afterwards " # ~/vdhcoapp-2.0.10/vdhcoapp install ". No message error has appeared and it seemed that vdhcoapp was installed, but when I wanted to use it on the web browser, it did not work.

Look at the Ubuntu & Linux section here: https://github.com/aclap-dev/video-downloadhelper/wiki/CoApp-not-recognized

opt/vdhcoapp/vdhcoapp install # (not as root! Don't use sudo)
sudo apt-get install -y flatpak
flatpak permission-set webextensions net.downloadhelper.coapp snap.firefox yes

I have looked at my opt/ folder and... surprise, there is already a vdhcoapp installed! (look at the screen capture)
But neither Google Chrome nor Chromium still do not work.
Someone before has told me something about the binaries. This noun rings a bell to me, but I do not know what it is. I am just a computer user.

Download the Deb file and double click on it. That should do it.
If it doesn't work, run the commands I mentioned before.
