udeler is an open source download app and multiplatform with which you can download Udemy course videos to your PC for free. Udeler was written in Electron to have a minimalist, intuitive and uniform user interface on Linux, Mac and Windows OS.
Currently, there are a number of online study education centers. Some of them focus only on programming and computer science related topics, while others have a broader scope of topics. Some sites are totally free or paid, and others offer free and free courses.
Like Khan Academy and Code Academy, Udemy she is not a newcomer in this area. It is a site where you can learn a wide variety of online courses at your own pace., with some of them freely available.
The problem, however, is that users are sometimes forced to follow videos only when connected to the internet, as there is no native option to download the videos of the course to watch later, especially when the user is offline.
Fortunately, With Udeler, you can solve this limitation and watch the videos wherever and whenever you want. In this we have the possibility of displaying a list of all your courses and being able to download them.
Udeler Features
- Ability to choose video quality
- Be able to download multiple courses at the same time.
- Stop or resume the download at any time.
- Choose the download directory.

Also the creator of the application points out something extremely important to us and is responsible for using the application:
This software is intended to help you download courses from Udemy for personal use only. Sharing the content of your subscribed courses is strictly prohibited under the Udemy Terms of Use. Each and every Udemy course is subject to copyright infringement. This software does not magically download any paid courses available on Udemy, you must provide your Udemy login credentials to download the courses you have enrolled.
Udeler downloads the conference videos simply using the source of the video player returned to the user by Udemy. After proper authentication, you can also do the same manually. Many download managers use the same method to download videos on a web page. This app only automates the process of a user doing this manually in a web browser.
How to install Udeler on Ubuntu and derivatives?
To install Udeler in Ubuntu and derivatives, as already mentioned, the application is built with the help of electron so the installation will be done through an AppImage file and this will be the one that will help us download the Udemy course videos.
For this we must open a terminal You can use the following shortcut CTRL + ALT + T.
The first thing we must do is check what architecture is our system, for this we can execute this command:
uname -m
Once the system architecture has been identified, now we just have to go to the project website and in the download section, we are going to download the file corresponding to our architecture.
Regardless of its architecture, they can use wget to downloadThey only have to do it in the following way, here I take as a reference the latest version available.
wget https://github.com/FaisalUmair/udemy-downloader-gui/releases/download/v1.4.0/Udeler-1.4.0-linux-x86_x64.AppImage -O
Only we must give execution permissions to the recently downloaded file:
chmod +x Udeler*.appimage
Finally just we install the application with:
sudo ./Udeler*.appimage
When you run the file for the first time, you will be asked if you want to integrate the program with the system. If they select that, if they want integration, the program launcher will be added to the application menu and installation icons. If they choose 'No', you will always have to start it by double-clicking on the AppImage.
Once you launch the application, a login screen will appear for you to enter your Udemy account credentials. Once this is done, you can directly access your videos of the course.
