Confirming. For time being switched to Docker version which I've built locally.

I am facing the same issue. Any suggestion what might i am doing wrong?

Hi,

Maybe you missed, python ./edx-dl.py -u user@user.com --list-courses Note the python in front of it and the ./

Else are you using python virtualenv?

If yes, before running the script, move to the virtual env and next run the command line by doing source virtualenv_folder_chosed_at_env_creation/bin/activate. You will see in parenthesis something at the beginning of the command line. Next, run the edx command line.

To leave the virtualenv, simply type deactivate

Kind regards

I actually expected it to be in the global PATH

ollyimanishimwe commented 4 years ago

got the same error too

even after specifying that "python ./" PATH, no such file or directory found.

any help please

First check that you have python installed: which python should returns /usr/bin/python.

Go the directory where you cloned the repository (where edx-dl.py is located). If you installed it using python virtualenv, do source virtualenv_folder_chosed_at_env_creation/bin/activate. Else run python ./edx-dl.py -u user@user.com --list-courses
