This is a command-line downloader written in Python. This relies on Selenium. Moreover, at the moment this downloader supports just https://edx.org website only, and it doesn't support other similar websites, but planning to add Coursera in the future.
Disclaimer: You should not use this software to abuse EDX website. I have written this software with a positive intention, that is to help learners download EDX course videos altogether quickly and easily. I am not responsible if anyway regarding the way you use this software.
//TODO pip3 install coursaros (not yet released) Or clone this repo and install manually:
git clone https://github.com/SpyridonLaz/Coursaros.git
cd coursaros
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 setup.py installOnce installed, a command coursaros becomes available in your terminal. Typing coursaros and hitting enter in your terminal should bring up the downloader menu. /todo
On a private computer, it is always better if the software doesn't repeatedly ask you for your credentials. By default, no credentials or cookies are stored, unless explicitly specified. An option exists to save an authenticated session in Coursaros/{platform}/.cookie so the session will persist even after closing the program.
