Your environment

  • Linux (Ubuntu/18.04):
  • Python version: 3.6.9
  • youtube-dl version: 2018.03.14.
  • edx-dl version: I get the same error saying "edx-dl: command not found"

Steps to reproduce

Tell us how to reproduce this issue. Please provide us the course URL, and the specific subsection or unit if possible.

Terminal should have listed available courses I guess

Actual behaviour

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

Hi,

Maybe you missed, python ./edx-dl.py -u [email protected] --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

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 [email protected] --list-courses
