youtube-dl was replaced withyt-dlc which is a community fork of youtube-dl. This was required due to the DMCA take down nonsense that made the original repo disappear.

The command is youtube-dlc (it behaves the exact same way) personally I have an alias set for best quality settings:
alias ytdownload="youtube-dlc -f 'bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/bestvideo+bestaudio' --merge-output-format mp4"

So with that set I only have to type:
ytdownload url

Solus uses youtube-dlc now - it has switched during the period when original project was struggling with legal issues. While the name of the program is different, the CLI is still the same.
As far as I know, it's unclear now if Solus will return to original program or continue with the fork. Time will tell, I guess.
