How do I import class content onto a local server?

[Alex Borgerding]

Hi All,

I’m a little frustrated with figuring how to import a class content on my local server (beyond just running the demo class)

Here are the steps I did. I used studio online, I exported the class, now I don’t know how to get this into my local system

DETAILS:

1. I have created content in Studio online at:

2. I exported *.tar doing this and inside it has these contents:

a.

b. These are the contents in it:

3. The goal is to get the local server. The files of the server directories look like this.  Do we either put the content in directly or is there an import feature?

How do I bring in new content onto the page?

You just need to create a new course in studio and then import your .tar.gz file through the tools menu. 

See http://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-partner-course-staff/en/latest/releasing_course/export_import_course.html#import-a-course

There's also a django management command for importing courses. And if you enable the sysadmin panel you can import courses from a git repository. Those options aren't well documented but we use them regularly at MIT.
