Download content from ILIAS. That includes:

Windows/Linux users: go to the releases and download the executable for your operating system.

By default, only content on your personal desktop will be downloaded.

You can use the --user
and --keyring
options to get/store the password using the system password store:
$ KIT-ILIAS-downloader -U uabcd --keyring [...]
If you use pass, you can use the --pass-path
option to specify which password store entry to use:
$ KIT-ILIAS-downloader -U uabcd --pass-path edu/kit/uskyk [...]
You can also save your username and password in a .iliaslogin
file: (located in the output folder)
username
password
When running the downloader multiple times in a short period of time, you may want to use the --keep-session
flag.
If specified, the downloader will save and restore session cookies (.iliassession
file in the output directory).
If you'd like to avoid unwieldy course names (e.g. "24030 – Programmierparadigmen"), you can create a course_names.toml
file in the output directory. It should contain the desired mapping of course names to folder names, e.g.:
"24030 – Programmierparadigmen" = "ProPa"
"Numerische Mathematik für die Fachrichtungen Informatik und Ingenieurwesen" = "Numerik"
PlatformFailure(Zbus(MethodError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown", Some("The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files"), Msg { type: Error, sender: "org.freedesktop.DBus", reply-serial: 2, body: Signature: [
s (115),
] })))
If you get the above error when activating the --keyring
option, you need to make sure that your system keyring service (KeePassXC, GNOME Keyring, ...) is running.
