I am trying to open entire Open edX course on Canvas, for now I have tried using this plugin to enable it:

I have setup the tool on canvas and also the LTI keys on Open edX admin page, but the plugin is giving a “404 Page not found” error after installing from the instructions based on this thread. Is there any specific setting that I need to enable?

Or is there any other way to launch entire Open edX course(not just a course component) via Canvas using LTI?

Are you trying to use Open edX as an LTI Provider? Have you checked out the docs? Configuring an edX Instance as an LTI Tool Provider — Latest documentation

I’ve followed the documentation, but it only explains how to open a specific section of a course in Canvas, not the entire Open edX course. Is there a way to achieve opening the entire openedx course in canvas, or am I overlooking something?

Gotcha. I don’t know if that’s possible. Tagging @feanil for insight.

@utsavjari that plugin is not a part of the default Open edX platform. It was developed by Pearson for their own uses. We’re in the process of figuring out if it can be generalized but I’m afraid right now we don’t have enough info to provide support for it. There is built-in support for using the edx-platform as an LTI Tool which Sarina linked to but that one can only support content up to the section level and can’t embed a whole course.
