MEGAREG(1)

📦 version 1.10.3, in ubuntu jammy

✨ MEGAREG(1) ✨ — the megatools manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so welcome to megareg, from the Megatools Manual 💖 this is the one that makes you a whole new Mega.nz account, and honestly? it's giving main character energy.

🌸 NAME 🌸

megareg — Register new Mega.nz account 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Registers new Mega.nz account. no cap, that's the whole job 💅

Registration is split into two steps, because we love a two-part saga:

  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. 👇

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • --register — Create new non-verified account. the lil baby account era 🐣
  • --verify <state> <link> — Verify account previously created by megareg --register. You need to pass <state> that was returned from megareg --register and a verification link from the email that was sent to <email>. basically you're proving the account is yours fr fr
  • --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. ⚠️ like, it will simply Not Check. so type it carefully bestie, i'm begging 🙈
  • --name <realname> — Your real (or fake) name. no judgement here, this is a safe space 🫶
  • --password <password> — Plaintext password. No strength checking is done, so make sure you pick a strong password yourself. it is literally not going to hold your hand on this one 😭
  • --scripted — After registration, print the command that can be used to finish the registration in a format suitable for scripting purposes. robot-friendly output, slay 🤖
  • --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. (each one gets its own lil speed budget 🍓)
  • --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
  • --config <path> — Load configuration from a file 📁
  • --ignore-config-file — Disable loading .megarc. not today, config file 💀
  • --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 🌈

🎀 EXAMPLE 🎀

First create an non-verified account:

$ megareg --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:

  megareg --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:

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

Account registered successfully!

and that's the whole glow-up arc completed, we love to see it 🔥
