The error you shared seems to be related to an open issue on the tool's GitHub repository (Issue #834, still open on Dec. 11, 2022). Until addressed, you can try a fix made on a fork, for example, this one.

Per the documentation you should download as follows:

coursera-dl -u my_coursera_username -p my_coursera_password neural-networks-deep-learning

Note that you won't be able to access the course materials if you are not officially enrolled via the website.

I forgot to mention that I put my username, password etc.. in a `.conf` file. I tried this before and it worked. I read somewhere that coursera-dl is not working anymore and you need to download the repository then install it but this solution doesn't work and it gives the same warning mentioned [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74631073/unable-to-install-coursera-dl/74658751#74658751) when typing `pip3 install` or `pip install coursera-dl`. [The mentioned solution](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fDCln4C0zbI) – user8233343 Dec 03 '22 at 11:24
"You must already have (manually) agreed to the Honor of Code of the particular courses that you want to use with coursera-dl". Did you perform these steps? – sitWolf Dec 03 '22 at 11:31
I did, still not working. – user8233343 Dec 03 '22 at 12:38
