How do I use this basic shell script in Mac OS X Terminal?

I'd like to download videos from Harvard's CS109 course. I found this page that describes the process. I'm on Mac OS X El Capitan and I've successfully installed rtmpdump. I'm not sure how to use this script quoted from the page linked to above:

./get.sh hq-urls.txt # for high quality versions

What does that line of code do/mean? Do I have to insert a URL into part of the code? When I copy and paste

./get.sh hq-urls.txt

into the terminal, I get the message: "-bash: ./get.sh: No such file or directory".

It seems like I should copy and paste some url into that code or use some of the other files listed on that github page somehow.

You need to download the repository from github. You can do so by typing the following:

git clone https://github.com/vaishaks/cs109-dl-videos.git

This will download the repository into your current directory. If you have just opened the Terminal, this will be /Users/yourname. Now you need to cd into this directory. You can do so by typing the following:

cd cs109-dl-videos

Now you can type the command, as it was posted on the site:

./get.sh hq-urls.txt
