Installation

Coursera is just a script so you can run it without installing, all that is required is that you have the required dependencies installed. If you're not sure you can install them with: sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

A setup.py is also provided, although all it does is copying coursera to your PATH so you can run it anywhere.

Usage

To start using the script run it as ./coursera -h to see the help message.

If you are in a hurry, you can just skip it and run ./coursera dl-res crypto,algo 'your.email@example.com' 'your_password' to start downloading videos from your courses (which are crypto and algo in the example).
