Lynder

Lynder is a tutorial downloader from lynda.com website.

You can download whole lectures of course by one-command.

But able to download courses, you need to have Standard Lynda Account.

It's just 24.99$. I think it's worth every penny.

• Requests pip3 install requests
• youtube-dl brew install youtube-dl

  $ ./install.sh
  # It calls install commands of requirements.
  # And it copies downloader to /usr/local/bin for calling globally.
