       megatools reg - Register new Mega.nz account

SYNOPSIS

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

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.

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

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!
