Do you mean a video tutorial? If that’s what you mean , this gui is easy to use, just enter the course link , where you want to download the course and the token for lynda like [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ahmedayman4a/LyndaCoursesDownloader/master/LyndaCoursesDownloader.ConsoleDownloader/img/LyndaDownloaderDemo.gif). If you don’t know how to get the token, follow [this tutorial](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ahmedayman4a/LyndaCoursesDownloader/master/LyndaCoursesDownloader.ConsoleDownloader/img/LyndaTokenTutorialChromeCompressed.gif) if you are logged in to [lynda.com](http://lynda.com) on chrome or [this one](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ahmedayman4a/LyndaCoursesDownloader/master/LyndaCoursesDownloader.ConsoleDownloader/img/LyndaTokenTutorialFirefox.gif) if you are on firefox.  
**If you are still facing any issues reply below.**

No sorry, it wouldn’t work because this app is made primarily for lynda and each website has its own structure. My app can detect the structure of lynda but only lynda

Is there an easier way to download learning paths. Because they have multiple courses in them.  
I tried to use learning path url but it didn’t work.  
Is it possible to enter multiple urls to url section of your program. ?  
(so that I can enter all courses’ urls in a learning path)

It’s basically thesame content on both lynda and LinkedIn learning platforms. The latter just has a better UX and is much more “modern age”, works and integrates seamlessly with your LinkedIn, with better user-specific recommendations based on your LinkedIn professional profile skillsets. No difference in contents.

So just use the lynda course Downloader GUI tool created by @ahmedayman4a. Version 2 is very nice and makes the entire lynda videos download process easy peasy.

Great work @ahmedayman4a 💯 💥
