CLT prompts the user for basic course information: API token, API URL, course unique identifier, default quiz times (unlock, deadline, and lock).

CLT then creates the named directory, a subdirectory for configuration files, a subdirectory for modules, and several configuration files: basic settings, a file containing the API token, and a default quiz description.
