Instructions for downloading Jupyter Notebooks from Coursera

README.md

From an open Jupyter Notebook homework assignment, select "Coursera" to take you to the home page. Make a new notebook and fill it with the following and excute the cell with:

%%bash
tar cvfz hw.tar.gz .

This may take a little while to run depending on the packages. Select "Coursera" again to take you to the Home directory. Check the hw.tar.gz file and then Download. After the file is downloaded, delete it.

If the file is too big, you may get an error and have to restart. If so, try the following instead, remembering to delete any tar files created.

%%bash
for dir in */
do
  base=$(basename "$dir")
  tar -czf "${base}.tar.gz" "$dir"
done
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec tar cvfz hw.tar.gz {} +

Thank you so much! The method provided by Coursera does's work. I was lucky enough to find yours. It works but I need to open a new terminal and run the tar commend instead of run the commend on a new Notebook. Not sure what happened but it worked perfectly. Thank you so much again.

I noticed that not most of the files in the sub directories are not downloaded. don't know what went wrong.

I completed two courses without downloading files. It was really difficult. with these two lines saved lots of time and made my life easier. Thank you so much.

Works just fine

Thank you so much!
