Do this:
1. Open a terminal by hitting CTRL + ALT + T
2. Insert and run this command for install youtube-dl:
sudo apt-get install youtube-dl

3. Download a video with this command:
youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZYqT5PnPCs

In the example i will download the video at this link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZYqT5PnPCs

replace the link with the video that you want to download.
