i have a mac and use homebrew as my package manager. i just keep it up to date and that's that.
I appreciate this. I've downloaded the program and read through the documentation, but I'm still stuck on the age verification. You will be surprised to learn that many of the videos I wish to download are age-restricted.

The command line offers solutions related to using a switch --cookies-from-browser and that says it's loading the cookies from the browser but it still hits the age verification wall. Do you have a standard command line you use for this that I can just copy?
