# KIT-ILIAS-downloader
Download content from ILIAS. That includes:
* files
* exercise sheets and solutions
* Opencast lectures
* forum posts
## Installation
**Windows/Linux users**: go to the [releases](../../releases) and download the executable for your operating system.
**macOS users**: [Install Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) and compile from source:
```
$ cargo install --all-features --git 'https://github.com/FliegendeWurst/KIT-ILIAS-downloader' --branch stable
```
## Usage
First, open a terminal. Navigate to the directory that contains the downloaded binary.
Then execute the program (use `-o <directory>` to specify the download directory):
```
$ KIT-ILIAS-downloader -o ./ILIAS
```
By default, only content on your [personal desktop](https://ilias.studium.kit.edu/ilias.php?baseClass=ilPersonalDesktopGUI&cmd=jumpToSelectedItems) will be downloaded.
Use the `--sync-url` option to download a specific page and its sub-pages: (the URL should be copied from an ILIAS link, not the browser URL bar)
```
$ KIT-ILIAS-downloader -o ./ILIAS/WS2021-HM1 --sync-url 'https://ilias.studium.kit.edu/ilias.php?ref_id=1276968&cmdClass=ilrepositorygui&cmdNode=uk&baseClass=ilRepositoryGUI'
```

!/InsertCourseHere/
# example 2: only download files related to one tutorial
/Course/Tutorien/*/
!/Course/Tutorien/Tut* 3/
```
### Credentials
You can use the `--user` and `--keyring` options to get/store the password using the system password store.
If you use Linux, you'll have to compile from source to be able to use this option.
```
$ KIT-ILIAS-downloader -U uabcd --keyring [...]
```
You can also save your username and password in a `.iliaslogin` file: (located in the output folder)
```
username
password
```
### Renaming course names (0.2.24+)
If you'd like to avoid unwieldy course names (e.g. "24030 Programmierparadigmen"), you can create a `course_names.toml` file in the output directory. It should contain the desired mapping of course names to folder names, e.g.:
```
"24030 Programmierparadigmen" = "Propa"
"Numerische Mathematik für die Fachrichtungen Informatik und Ingenieurwesen" = "Numerik"
```
