 # INSTALLATION
 
 You can install yt-dlp using one of the following methods:
+* Download the binary from the [latest release](https://github.com/pukkandan/yt-dlp/releases/latest) (recommended method)
 * Use [PyPI package](https://pypi.org/project/yt-dlp): `python -m pip install --upgrade yt-dlp`
-* Download the binary from the [latest release](https://github.com/pukkandan/yt-dlp/releases/latest)
 * Use pip+git: `python -m pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/pukkandan/yt-dlp.git@release`
 * Install master branch: `python -m pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/pukkandan/yt-dlp`
 
 ### UPDATE
-`-U` does not work. Simply repeat the install process to update.
+Starting from version `2021.02.09`, you can use `youtube-dlc -U` to update if you are using the provided release.
+If you are using `pip`, simply re-run the same command that was used to install the program.
 
 ### COMPILE
 
 **For Windows**:
-To build the Windows executable, you must have pyinstaller (and optionally mutagen and Crypto)
+To build the Windows executable, you must have pyinstaller (and optionally mutagen and pycryptodome)
 
-    python -m pip install --upgrade pyinstaller mutagen Crypto
+    python -m pip install --upgrade pyinstaller mutagen pycryptodome
 
 Once you have all the necessary dependancies installed, just run `py pyinst.py`. The executable will be built for the same architecture (32/64 bit) as the python used to build it. It is strongly reccomended to use python3 although python2.6+ is supported.

-Note that any other **numerical** field made available by the extractor can also be used. All fields, unless specified otherwise, are sorted in decending order. To reverse this, prefix the field with a `+`. Eg: `+res` prefers format with the smallest resolution. Additionally, you can suffix a prefered value for the fields, seperated by a `:`. Eg: `res:720` prefers larger videos, but no larger than 720p and the smallest video if there are no videos less than 720p. For `codec` and `ext`, you can provide two prefered values, the first for video and the second for audio. Eg: `+codec:avc:m4a` (equivalent to `+vcodec:avc,+acodec:m4a`) sets the video codec preference to `h264` > `h265` > `vp9` > `vp8` > `h263` > `theora` and audio codec preference to `mp4a` > `aac` > `vorbis` > `opus` > `mp3` > `ac3` > `dts`.

-The fields `hasvid`, `ie_pref`, `lang`, `quality` are always given highest priority in sorting, irrespective of the user-defined order. This behaviour can be changed by using `--force-format-sort`. Apart from these, the default order used is: `res,fps,codec:vp9,size,br,asr,proto,ext,hasaud,source,id`. Note that the extractors may override this default order, but they cannot override the user-provided order.

Note that the extractors may override this default order, but they cannot override the user-provided order.
 
 If your format selector is `worst`, the last item is selected after sorting. This means it will select the format that is worst in all repects. Most of the time, what you actually want is the video with the smallest filesize instead. So it is generally better to use `-f best -S +size,+br,+res,+fps`.
