I tried to install youtube-dl for my Ubuntu, I used apt, apt-get and even python pip, It installs successfully, but it doesn't work due to the version was the march version(something around 2018.03.xx), I tried to sudo apt update and reinstalled the pkg again but no difference(same version) and still doesn't work.

the march update is not the latest version, If we looked at debian site for the pkg:
it has a new version(2018.09.10), if you have the old version you should run:
sudo apt remove youtube-dl
sudo apt autoremove
that should remove the old version, now download the pkg from the link and go to terminal type:
sudo dpkg --install /path/youtube-dl-pkg-name.deb
type your password and done! to see the version type on terminal:
youtube-dl --version
