ocw-to-hugo

Installation

These examples demonstrate installing ocw-to-hugo globally, as it is designed to be a command line utility that can be run from anywhere in the system. However, you may omit the global flag if you wish to install it into another project.

From source

$ cd ~/path/to/temp/dir
$ git clone git@github.com:mitodl/ocw-to-hugo.git
$ cd ocw-to-hugo
$ npm install -g .

From npm

$ npm install -g @mitodl/ocw-to-hugo

Usage

$ ocw-to-hugo -c <courses.json location> --download -i <input directory> -o <output directory>

This utility optionally takes a JSON file of OCW course ID's. Various examples of this can be found in the course_json_examples folder, but generally it is formatted as:

{
    "courses": [
        "12-001-introduction-to-geology-fall-2013",
        "14-01sc-principles-of-microeconomics-fall-2011"
    ]
}

If the -c option has been specified, processing will be filtered by the courses specified in the format above. If the --download flag is set, the courses listed will first be downloaded from AWS to the input directory specified with -i. When downlading courses, ocw-to-hugo automatically determines if it needs to re-download a file by comparing dates. If --download is not set, the source for the courses specified in the JSON must already exist in the input directory. If any of the courses are not there, an error will be thrown. If you wish to simply process an input directory of courses without downloading or filtering, use only the -i and -o arguments.
