Installation

Go to the 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 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'
