## Todo
- [x] Lectures (videos, subtitles, slides)
- [x] Readings
- [ ] Jupyter notebooks
- [ ] Quizs
## Install
Python **⩾3.8** is required.
Install the `dl_coursera` package in a virtual environment.
```
$ pip install -U dl_coursera
$ dl_coursera --version
```
Alternatively, you can download `dl_coursera` as a single executable from [https://github.com/FLZ101/dl_coursera/releases/](https://github.com/FLZ101/dl_coursera/releases/). **Note**:
* This may not work if your OS is outdated
* On Windows, SmartScreen may prevent execution of the executable
## How-to
1. Get the cookies file
Sign into [Coursera](https://www.coursera.org/), then use a browser extension to export cookies as a cookies file which will expire in about two weeks.
For Chrome/Edge/Firefox, you can use the **Cookie-Editor** extension.
2. Enroll
Navigate to homepage of the **specialization**/**course** you'd like to download, you can see its **slug** at the address bar. **Enroll** in.
3. Download
```
dl_coursera --cookies path_of_the_cookies_file --outdir output_directory slug
```
For example:
```
$ dl_coursera --cookies cookies.txt --outdir __data advanced-modeling
███████████████████████████████ [100%] 56/56 Crawling...
███████████████████████████████ [100%] 212/212 Downloading...
Done :-)
```
## Troubleshooting
1. Check your network
2. Make sure you have enrolled in the specialization/course
3. If the cookies file might have expired, try getting a new one
4. Try upgrading to the latest version
5. Remove the directory `<output-directory>/<slug>/.cache` and try again
6. Visit [the issues page](https://github.com/FLZ101/dl_coursera/issues?q=is:issue). You may find a solution if others has encountered similar issues.
Or you could create a new issue describing what is going wrong and the steps to reproduce it. Don't forget to attach the file `<output-directory>/<slug>/.cache/main.log` if it exists.
