It’s one shell script containing less than 20 lines of code. That’s it. Please feel free to use or modify/fork it as required for your use case. # [https://gitlab.com/nonstophacker/khanacademy\_course\_downloaderDescription](https://gitlab.com/nonstophacker/khanacademy_course_downloaderDescription) # khanacademy\_course\_downloader **Dependencies** sudo apt-get install html-xml-utils curl python-pip sudo pip install youtube-dl youtube-dl usage example:- _youtube-dl -o ‘%(playlist)s/%(playlist\_index)s. %(title)s.%(ext)s’ [https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-2nd-grade-math/cc-2nd-add-subtract-100](https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-2nd-grade-math/cc-2nd-add-subtract-100)_ **How does it work?** Given a URL on a specific topic in a course, youtube-dl utility is able to download all embedded youtube videos. Khan Academy courses are basically a collection of multiple topics. The download script dka.sh basically parses the main course page, extracts the topic URLs and iterates through each of them to download embedded videos using youtube-dl utility. **Usage** dka.sh For example, to download 2nd grade math course from Khan Academy:- _dka.sh [https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-2nd-grade-math](https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-2nd-grade-math)_ As of April 2nd, 2019, this utility is working as expected.
