Most of the time, a distribution's version of youtube-dl is out of date
anyway. It's just a python script, so you can download its source and use
it.
wget https://yt-dl.org/downloads/2014.08.10/youtube-dl
This should bring you the script.
Now put it in your path. Standard would be to either put it in
/usr/local/bin or your own $HOME/bin. $HOME means your home directory.
Meh, some distros don't look in $HOME/bin as a path, so let's put it into
/usr/local/bin
sudo mv youtube-dl /usr/local/bin
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
Then use it.
Find a video you like on youtube, copy the url and then
youtube-dl <url>
