Hi @Me-Mr, do you have experience with Python? Try following the steps outlined in the Getting Started section of the Readme: https://github.com/davekats/canvas-student-data-export#getting-started
Let me know if you run into any issues.

Hi @davekats thank you for your reply! I don't have any experience, but I've set it up. I'm getting this error when installing dependencies: ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python-dateutil==-2.8.2 (from versions: 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.5, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4.0, 2.4.1, 2.4.1.post1, 2.4.2, 2.5.0, 2.5.1, 2.5.2, 2.5.3, 2.6.0, 2.6.1, 2.7.0, 2.7.1, 2.7.2, 2.7.3, 2.7.4, 2.7.5, 2.8.0, 2.8.1, 2.8.2)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for python-dateutil==-2.8.2

When I install pythondateutil without the version it says it's already installed.

After running export.py I got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/a/Downloads/canvas-student-data-export-3/export.py", line 11, in <module> from module.download_canvas import download_assignment_pages, download_course_announcement_pages, download_course_discussion_pages, download_course_files, download_course_home_page_html, download_course_html, download_course_module_pages, download_submission_attachments File "/Users/a/Downloads/canvas-student-data-export-3/module/download_canvas.py", line 8, in <module> from tqdm import tqdm ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tqdm'

Thank you for your help!

Hi I installed the other dependencies on my own. Now I'm getting this error:

Getting list of all courses...
Fetching Courses...
Failed to launch the browser process! spawn /usr/bin/chromium-browser ENOENT

This is where I got stuck before also.

@Me-Mr If you want to use singlefile, you will need to edit lines 4 and 12 of the singlefile.py file and set the path to the path of your chrome or chromium browser. I have also found that adding the --browser-debug flag after line 14 can be helpful.

If you don't need the HTML pages that singlefile provides and are ok with the JSON data, you can add an early return after line 9 of singlefile.py.

I was able to get it running on MacOS following @davekats steps. Default chrome path on Mac was "/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome". Note that copying the path from Terminal with the escaping backslashes did not work.

Using the browser-debug flag also seemed to cause it to hang indefinitely at the "Downloading course list page" step and a blank Chrome window remained open, but without that flag it seemed to run fine.

Thanks for all of your work here, this was a really handy tool.
