Installation

$ pip install irs

Almost all dependencies are automatically installed by pip, but youtube_dl still needs ffmpeg to convert video to audio, so for Windows, you can install Scoop and then just do:

$ scoop install ffmpeg

For OSX, you can use Brew and do:

$ brew install ffmpeg

For Ubuntu:

$ sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

Most other linux distros have ffmpeg or libav-tools in their package manager repos, so you can install one or the other for other distros.
