Simply call udemy-dl with the full URL to the course page.
udemy-dl https://www.udemy.com/COURSE_NAME
or

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.
udemy-dl -u user@domain.com -p $ecRe7w0rd https://www.udemy.com/COURSE_NAME
If you ``don’t want to download but save links to a file``` for later downloading with a different downloader
python -m udemy_dl -s https://www.udemy.com/COURSE_NAME
