I read the guide on how to design a course for the open edx platform using OLX. Now I need to load it into my application that using open edx. I don’t want to use Studio, because we are developing a simple analogue of it. On the site with the documentation in the chapter that could help me, it says “TBD” and nothing else. How can I build and upload a course to my platform? ---

Loading a course into LMS without going through Studio is unusual, but possible. There’s a django management command that you can use to import courses. You can run the following in an lms container in devstack to get more information. python manage.py lms import --help You can also import courses from git, using another management command: python manage.py lms git\_add\_course --help Or you can enable the sysadmin panel and get a web ui available to django staff. This feature is being deprecated, although it will be replaced by django plugin before it’s removed entirely. I hope this helps, Peter ---

Thank you very much, by the way, do you know why there was not a word about this in the documentation? ---

I think most django developers consider management commands to be self-documenting, but that’s not a good excuse. Where were you looking for documentation for OLX import? Maybe there’s a way to make a contribution there. ---

can you tell me more about the web interface and how to upload the course using it? We realized that using manage.py is not suitable for us
