# Bundled binaries

AeroFetch spawns these from the **main process** and bundles them via
electron-builder `extraResources` (they ship outside the asar archive). They are
**not** committed to git (see `.gitignore`).

Drop the two Windows executables here before running `npm run dev` or building:

```
resources/bin/
├── yt-dlp.exe
└── ffmpeg.exe
```

## yt-dlp.exe

- Download: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest
- Grab `yt-dlp.exe`.
- Unlicense / public domain.

## ffmpeg.exe

- Use an **LGPL** build to keep licensing simple, e.g.
  https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases (pick a `*-lgpl-shared` or
  `*-lgpl` win64 build) or https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/.
- Copy `ffmpeg.exe` here. Ship the LGPL license text alongside the installer
  before release.

> Branding stays generic: AeroFetch is a "yt-dlp frontend." Keep upstream
> license texts with any distributed build.
