That command is set with the `clipboard_command` option, which has the default value of `'xclip -rmlastnl -selection clipboard'`. See the [_Options_](#options) section for more information.

On Linux, if you don't already have `xclip` installed, you can install it with your distribution's package manager (e.g. on Debian, run `sudo apt install xclip`).
### Linux
1. Determine whether your display server is X11 or Wayland.
2. Use `xclip` or `wl-copy` respectively. The script preset is X11's `xclip`.
- **If X11**: Ensure `xclip` is installed.
- **If Wayland**: Ensure `wl-clipboard` is installed. Change `clipboard_command` to `'wl-copy'`

### macOS
On macOS, set the `clipboard_command` option to `pbcopy`.

### Windows
On Windows, a modification to the script is required. An imperfect example can be found in a previous commit, [here](https://github.com/linguisticmind/mpv-scripts/blob/9d42934a319eb94226abde0851fd4548bc8463a2/copy-subtitle/win/copy-subtitle.lua). Since I don't run Windows, I won't be able to provide much support regarding this issue, but if someone knows a robust solution to this, I would be glad to hear from you. Take a look at this [_Issues_ thread](https://github.com/linguisticmind/mpv-scripts/issues/1) for more information.
