If you already have the files of a previously downloaded course, you can import it by placing the files in the <root_folder>/data/ directory and running the following command:
python populate_coursera_db.py
We recommend accessing this service though a https connection. If this is not an option, we recommend creating a file in the root directory with the following name: default_user.conf
The file should have the following structure(Without quotations, commas, or extra symbols):
username=Your_UserName_Here
password=Your_Password_Here
When the user and password in the web interface are left empty, the app will automatically fall back to the default_user configuration file. This will allow you to avoid sending your credentials through a non-secure connection.
This app should be used as a distribution method of coursera courses, we will not be liable for the wrongful use of this app. It was designed for personal use only.
