#### Setup 

1. `pip install canvasapi`

    - https://github.com/ucfopen/canvasapi

2. You will need to set up a Canvas access token, and save the access token in an environment variable called CANVAS_TOKEN

3. You will need an .ini file for your course. There are a few ini files in this repo that you can copy and modify.

    - The ini file should be called `.ini`. For instance, the ini file for the spring version of the class 2301 in 2021 is 2301S2021.ini.
