[How to download coursera classes?] #coursera #jupyter #notebook
  1. File > Open ...
  2. Launch new terminal instance: New > Terminal
  3. tarball the folder:
tar czvhf coursera.tar.gz *
  1. a. split it (usually this file might be too large for your instance to allow download)
split -b 500M -d coursera.tar.gz coursera.
  1. Go to view in 2.
  2. Download the file(s) by selecting it (square) then clicking on Download.
  3. a. if you split the file, join them:
cat coursera.* > coursera.tar.gz
  1. Extract the files:
tar xzvf coursera.tar.gz

N.B. I couldn't find a way to download multiple files at the same time. Help is welcome!

  1. Install coursera-dl
  2. Launch a terminal in the local folder that will hold the class:
 coursera-dl -u <user> -p <password> class-name

N.B.: class-name is the unique name of the class that comes right after https://coursera.org/learn/ TIP: lead the command with a space so your password does not end up in your history.
