Where is startup? #16

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

I don't understand the part "Put watch -n 3600 python moodleCrawler.py in startup to fetch the files every hour"

Is it the Windows startup folder? If so, how do you put a command in there?

Thank you

No this is only for Unix systems. But it is optional, just to execute the script every hour, you don't need it to use this downloader. On Unix Systems there exists programs like watch or cron to schedule the execution of programs and scripts. On Windows exists also an task scheduler (Start Menu > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Scheduled Tasks).

To run the script you have to install python2 and all the dependencies listed in the readme (maybe you need to restart your computer). Then you can open a terminal and navigate to the folder containing the moodleCrawler.py: cd C://Path/To/Folder then you can run the script with python2 moodleCrawler.py
