I just need to watch an instructional video offline.

The co has that video on their own Website but how does one download a
video not on YT or Vimeo.

I downloaded and installed https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp a year ago but
it never worked.

I emailed the person who recommended that but they never emailed back.

Both YouTube and Vimeo would very much like you to use their apps to view
their content please, and downloading beyond what the app itself supports
(usually a paid/premium option) would probably be considered a violation of
their terms of service. They may or may not detect such downloads and they
may or may not do anything about it.

Apropos of nothing, have you looked at yt-dlp?
