# KIT-ILIAS-downloader
Download content from ILIAS. That includes:
* files
* exercise sheets and solutions
* Opencast lectures
* forum posts
## Installation
Go to the [releases](../../releases) and get the executable for your operating system (Windows/Linux only).
Or compile from source (mandatory if you use a Mac):
```
$ git clone https://github.com/FliegendeWurst/KIT-ILIAS-downloader
$ cd KIT-ILIAS-downloader
$ cargo install --all-features --path .
```
## Usage
First, open a terminal. Navigate to the directory that contains the downloaded binary.
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'
