## megatools-reg(1)

## 1. NAME

megatools reg - Register new Mega.nz account

## 2. SYNOPSIS

> megatools reg [--scripted] --register --email <email> --name <realname> --password <password>
> megatools reg [--scripted] --verify <state> <link>

## 3. DESCRIPTION

Registers new Mega.nz account. Registration is split into two steps:

1. `--register`: Creates a new non-verified account
2. `--verify`: Verifies account with the link that was sent to `<email>`

See example of registration below.

## 4. OPTIONS

--register
  Create new non-verified account.
--verify <state> <link>
  Verify account previously created by `megatools reg --register`. You need to pass `<state>` that was returned from `megatools reg --register` and a verification link from the email that was sent to `<email>`.
--email <email>

  Email serves as your new account username, that you’ll be using to sign in.

  NOTES: Beware that ATM, email format is not validated by megatools.

--name <realname>
  Your real (or fake) name.
--password <password>
  Plaintext password. No strength checking is done, so make sure you pick a strong password yourself.
--scripted
  After registration, print the command that can be used to finish the registration in a format suitable for scripting purposes.
--limit-speed <speed>
  Set maximum allowed upload and download speed in KiB/s. This option overrides config file settings. 0 means no limit. When using ParallelTransfers > 1, upload speed limit is applied to each transfer individually.
--proxy <proxy>

  Use proxy server to connect to mega.nz. This option overrides config file settings. More information can be found in libcurl documentation at https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROXY.html. Some acceptable values are:

  - `none` : Disable proxy if it was enabled in the config file.
  - `socks5://localhost:9050` : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server
  - `socks5h://localhost:9050` : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server with DNS handled by the proxy
--netif <ifname|ip>
  Network interface or local IP address used for outgoing connections. You have to specify IP address bound to some of your local network interfaces, when specifying an IP address.
--ip-proto <proto>
  Which IP protocol to prefer when connecting to mega.nz (v4, v6, or any). This is just an advisory option. Megatools will resolve mega.nz domain, and then use an A or AAAA record based on the stated preference.
--config <path>
  Load configuration from a file
--ignore-config-file
  Disable loading .megarc
--debug [<options>]

  Enable debugging of various aspects of the megatools operation. You may enable multiple debugging options separated by commas. (eg. `--debug api,fs`)

  Available options are:

  - `http`: Dump HTTP request/response details (can be used to debug connection/proxy issues)
  - `api`: Dump Mega.nz API calls
  - `fs`: Dump Mega.nz filesystem (may require `--reload` to actually print something)
  - `cache`: Dump cache contents
  - `tman`: Dump transfer manager events
--version
  Show version information

## 5. EXAMPLE

First create an non-verified account:

    $ megatools reg --register --email your@email.com --name "Your Name" --password "Your Password"

    Registration email was sent to test@megous.com. To complete registration, you must run:

      megatools reg --verify vbFFFv7AFM25etzkFXLs9A==:Z7FFbgAAAAAAAAAArL33eA==:inEONh3tmwY @LINK@

    (Where @LINK@ is registration link from the 'MEGA Signup' email)

Now wait for a verification mail and run the command as asked:

    $ megatools reg --verify vbFFFv7AFM25etzkFXLs9A==:Z7FFbgAAAAAAAAAArL33eA==:inEONh3tmwY \
        'https://mega.nz/#confirmciyfWXRGFNcM...'

    Account registered successfully!
