I'm getting a ➤ [•] YouTube Music...(failed: [Response code 404 (Not Found)]) in all my queries. I also try to modify the youtube.js file but I got error: unknown option '--cookies'.

This change is clearly not enough, you need to add --cookies as an option to the 'get' command in cli.js and pass it down from there starting with the init function.

I have done all of this and still getting the same error :/ there may need to be a sign into YouTube option, but suggest to use burner accounts.
Everyone else- it may be smart to create some "burner" accounts ahead of time and watch some videos on them to have a small "history" incase it detects it being an unused account.
