Execution

Docker

Get the image

docker pull amalrajan/learncpp-download:latest

And run the container

docker run --rm --name=learncpp-download --mount type=bind,destination=/app/learncpp,source=/home/amalr/temp/downloads amalrajan/learncpp-download

Replace /home/amalr/temp/downloads with a local path on your system where you'd want the files to get downloaded.

Local

Install these dependencies

1. Python 3.10.12

2. wkhtmltopdf

• Debian based: sudo apt install wkhtmltopdf
• macOS: brew install Caskroom/cask/wkhtmltopdf
• Windows: choco install wkhtmltopdf (or simply download it the old fashioned way). I wouldn't recommend using Windows, as the fonts are a bit weird. Unless of course, you have a thing for weird stuff.

Run it

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/amalrajan/learncpp-download.git

Install Python dependencies

cd learncpp-download
pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the script

scrapy crawl learncpp 

You'll find the downloaded files inside learncpp directory under the repository root directory.
