This is a non-official Ruby script to download all StackSkills tutorials. Login details is required to acquire the subscribed courses to be downloaded.

Information

Pre-requisites (Important!!)

• wget - download attached files(videos, PDFs and zipped files).
• youtube-dl - for Wistia videos, please install youtube-dl to avoid any error.

For Non-Ruby Downloaders

If this is the first time you're running a Ruby script, it is recommended to install Ruby via a version manager i.e. rvm or rbenv, but installing Ruby directly is fine for a short term usage to make sure the script is compatible with the current Ruby version.

For Windows Users

The script may not be working well with Windows systems based on some issues being reported. If you're familiar with command prompt/Linux based commands and have Git installed, please try to use Git bash to run the script.

If you're facing problems related to wget, do make sure wget can be run within your working directory i.e. directory that runs this script.

Usage

This script requires Mechanize gem to run.

bundle install
