how come yt-dlp on a terminal returns bash: yt-dlp: command not found even though I installed it with wget? debian 13

debian 13.0, downloaded yt-dlp with wget https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp -O ~/.local/bin/yt-dlp

the python script is in that directory, but if I execute yt-dlp on the terminal it returns bash: yt-dlp: command not found

what should I do?
