Mega_Server_Install Files

megatools - command line client application for Mega
====================================================

Megatools is a collection of programs for accessing Mega service from
a command line of your desktop or server.

Megatools allow you to copy individual files as well as entire directory
trees to and from the cloud. You can also perform streaming downloads for
example to preview videos and audio files, without needing to download
the entire file.

Megatools are robust and optimized for fast operation - as fast as Mega
servers allow. Memory requirements and CPU utilization are kept at minimum.

You can register account using a 'megareg' tool, with the benefit of having
true control of your encryption keys.

Mega website can be found at https://mega.nz.

Megatools can be downloaded at https://megatools.megous.com

Tools
=====

  megareg      Register and verify a new mega account
  megadf       Show your cloud storage space usage/quota
  megals       List all remote files
  megamkdir    Create remote directory
  megarm       Remove remote file or directory
  megaput      Upload individual files
  megaget      Download individual files
  megadl       Download file from a "public" Mega link
               (doesn't require login)
  megastream   Streaming download of a file
               (can be used to preview videos or music)
  megacopy     Upload or download a directory tree


All of these tools do:

- Local caching of remote session/filesystem information
  for faster execution. Cache is encrypted with your password
  key.
- Support loading login credentials from a configuration file


Usage
=====

See man pages for how to use individual tools and how to configure them:

  man megatools


Windows Quirks
==============

On Windows, if you see weird characters in your megals output, you'll need
to set correct CHARSET environment variable. For example on Czech Windows
this would mean executing this command in cmd before using the tools:

  set CHARSET=CP852

This is just a cosmetic issue. Internally, megatools always work with UTF-8
file names, and even if the tool's terminal output is corrupted, files names
of downloaded/uploaded files will be correct.


Installation on Mac OS X (Mountain Lion)
========================================

Thanks to Carl Moden, megatools is available in Homebrew (http://brew.sh/).

You can therefore install megatools with:

  brew install megatools

To install megatools by hand you need to:

1. Install glib-networking with a ca-bundle:

  export BUNDLE=/usr/local/share/ca-bundle.crt
  curl http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem -o $BUNDLE
  /usr/bin/sed -ie "s|--without-ca-certificates|--with-ca-certificates=$BUNDLE|" \
    /usr/local/Library/Formula/glib-networking.rb
  brew install glib-networking

2. Make the pkgconfig (.pc) file for libcurl findable by megatools configure script:

  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Library/ENV/pkgconfig/10.8

3. Untar megatools, run `./configure`, `make` and `make install` as usual.


Installation on your favorite GNU/Linux distribution
====================================================

Megatools may already be pre-packaged in the package repository
of your distribution. It is already available at least in:

- Debian - https://packages.debian.org/stretch/megatools
- Ubuntu - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/megatools
- Fedora - https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/megatools/
- Arch Linux (AUR) - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/megatools/
- Gentoo - https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/net-misc/megatools

Be sure to check your distribution's package repository first.


Installation on FreeBSD
=======================

Megatools is available in ports thanks to Maxim V. Kostikov:

  http://www.freshports.org/net/megatools/


Building megatools from source code
===================================

You will need to install dependnencies first, to be able to do the build from
the official source code tarball, which is available only at
http://megatools.megous.com.

You can also check that the code was released by me, using GPG signatures
provided alongside the code.

Please don't report build issues against code that you downloaded from github.
These reports will be closed without explanation, with reference to this README
file. It is not expected to work on all distributions. Use the official tarball.


On Debian, Ubuntu:

  apt-get -y install build-essential libglib2.0-dev libssl-dev \
    libcurl4-openssl-dev libgirepository1.0-dev

  Note: when you run into missing .so files, try building with 
    `./configure --disable-shared --enable-static` instead of plain `./configure`.

On Fedora:

  yum -y install gcc make glib2-devel libcurl-devel openssl-devel gmp-devel tar

On OpenSUSE:

  zypper -n install gcc make glib2-devel libcurl-devel openssl-devel gmp-devel

On Arch Linux:

  pacman -Sy --noconfirm --needed pkg-config gcc make glib2 curl gmp nettle
