Dependencies

The versions are purely orientative. It's just what I had when I wrote it and tested it. It most likely works with older versions too. Open an issue if you tested it on an older version of any of those and I'll update the dependencies.

bash 5.1.8
wget 1.21
mpv  0.33.1

Installation

Firstly, make sure all the above dependencies are installed. Afterwards, at the command-line:

$ sudo cp darknet-player /usr/local/bin/
$ sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/darknet-player

You can change the destination (/usr/local/bin) to any place on PATH. Check PATH using $ echo $PATH.
