Playing YouTube video on a RPI is possible directly from the Linux command-line, without having even to start X. It saves some resources. There are many tutorial on how to install YouTube but I found that the information was spread all over, so here is a summary:

1. Install youtube-dl, to download YouTube video:

   1. sudo apt-get update

   2. sudo apt-get install youtube-dl

2. Update youtube-dl to its latest version:

   1. sudo youtube-dl -U

3. Install Python setup tools, needed to install whitey:

   1. sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
