If you have to just download videos or basically use the script to download videos:

• Navigate to the file directory where the downloaded file (the script file) is stored using the cd command in terminal or cmd.
• Trigger python script.py or python3 script.py according to the operating system needs.
• Enter the url of the Video Lecture Course that you want to download.
