Some CLI flows require local helper binaries. youka deps ensure downloads them into ~/.youka/binaries, verifies them, and reuses the cached copies on later runs. You usually need dependencies in two cases:
  • URL imports: creating a project from a remote URL may require ffmpeg, ffprobe, and yt-dlp
  • Local renders: youka export create --local requires ffmpeg, ffprobe, Remotion, and Chromium

​
deps status

deps status is read-only. It prints whether the required binaries are installed and ready, then suggests the matching deps ensure command when setup is needed.
