In previous specialisations I studied on Coursera, there was always some guidance around downloading the labs. This is the first one I’ve done on DeepLearning.AI and I haven’t come across such guidance in any of the modules. Further, I can’t find a way to do it without having to download the contents of each folder separately, which for some labs, is extremely difficult and time-consuming.
Are the labs in this course not download-friendly? Is there a way I can download all the lab files - including the data folders - in one shot?
Well, if you know how to use linux commands, you can implement this yourself. Just add a cell to the notebook (the “+” on the toolbar) and then you can include linux shell commands by using so-called “bang escapes”: just precede each shell command with an exclamation point “!” (bang).
Try this:
!ls -lR
That will recursively list the files in the assignment. I tried and they don’t include the zip command in the Docker image, but they do include tar. For example you could add this command:
!tar chzvf assignment.tgz .
That will give you compressed tar file with all the files recursively included. Then you just download that and then unpack it locally.
