ocw-server

A server for MIT OpenCourseWare content

Installation

1. Install Deno
2. Clone this repository
3. Make this function available by adding the following to your .bashrc or .zshrc:

ocw() {
  (cd /path/to/repo && deno task $@)
}

4. Run ocw index once to create the public/index.html file (even if you haven't downloaded any courses yet)
5. Run ocw start to start the server

You can also run ocw to see a list of available commands.

Downloading Courses

Run ocw download <course id> to download a course. For example, if the course URL were https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/16-00-introduction-to-aerospace-engineering-and-design-spring-2003/, the ID would be 16-00-introduction-to-aerospace-engineering-and-design-spring-2003. This will download it to the public folder.

After the course downloads, run ocw index to index the courses and update public/index.html. You can now run ocw start to start the server and view the course (you might need to hard refresh the page or clear your cache for it to update).

Commands

• start: Starts the server
• download <course id>: Downloads a course
• index: Indexes all courses
