I need help for my YouTube Video Downloader using tkinter and pytube in Python

Question

Here's my code I keep get an error but I don't what and why the error is there

from pytube import YouTube
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import Tk, font

root = Tk()
root.geometry('700x250')
root.title('YouTube Downloader')

link_here = Label(root, text="Paste Here", font=("courier",40,))
link_here.place(x=220,y=40)

linkbruh = StringVar()
pasted = Entry(root,width=60,textvariable=linkbruh)
pasted.place(x=80,y=120)

def download():
    a = (str(linkbruh.get()))
    vid = YouTube(a).streams.filter(progressive=True, file_extension='mp4').order_by('resolution').desc().first()
    vid.download('/downloadhere')

Button(root,text="Download Video", width=20, bg="black", fg="gray", command=download).place(x=250,y=170)

root.mainloop()

Thats my code and when I tried to paste the link of a YouTube vid, it would just give an error message saying

I'm fairly new and I'm so confused, if you could help me that would be very appreciated because I do not understand what this means

I didn't get any errors. Also, make sure you are using the correct path. If the problem persists post the link for the video you got this error. — JacksonPro, Dec 12 '20 at 13:47

@acw1668 thankyou, that solved the first part of the error, but I still have the other error — Jennieee, Dec 13 '20 at 12:30
@Dylan Yes, your code works fine for me. I have posted an answer tell me if that works — JacksonPro, Dec 13 '20 at 13:41

Here try this:

from pytube import YouTube
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import Tk, font



def download():
    hide()
    a = (str(linkbruh.get()))
    try:
        vid = YouTube(a)
        down = vid.streams.filter(progressive=True, file_extension='mp4').order_by('resolution').desc().first()
              
        title.config(text=f'title: {vid.title}')
        title.place(x=220, y=230)   

        
        down.download(r'\downloads')   # give your path here              

        error.config(text='Successfully downloaded')
        error.place(x=220, y=210)

        
    except:
        error.config(text='error: Unable to download the video')
        error.place(x=220, y=210)
        return 

def hide():
    title.place_forget()
    error.place_forget()

root = Tk()
root.geometry('700x250')
root.title('YouTube Downloader')

link_here = Label(root, text="Paste Here", font=("courier",40,))
link_here.place(x=220,y=40)

title = Label(root, text='')
title.place(x=220, y=230)

error = Label(root, text='')
error.place(x=220, y=210)

linkbruh = StringVar()
pasted = Entry(root,width=60,textvariable=linkbruh)
pasted.place(x=80,y=120)

Button(root,text="Download Video", width=20, bg="black", fg="gray", command=download).place(x=250,y=170)

root.mainloop()
