udemy-dl will ask for your udemy username (email address) and password then start downloading the videos.

By default, udemy-dl will create a subdirectory based on the course name. If you wish to have the files downloaded to a specific location, use the -o /path/to/directory/ parameter.

If you wish, you can include the username/email and password on the command line using the -u and -p parameters.
