So you need to have the python runtime installed for this to work? Or is that downloaded as well?

I was just thinking I could for instance make a similar JavaFX crossplatform GUI on the JVM, but I'd have no idea how to call the youtube-dl python code. So I'm just curious how Electron solves that problem :)

No you just need the prereqs to run node, the binary comes compiled already
Oh okay with precompuled binaries then that's not so crossplatform. Thanks for clarifying :)
