megatools reg - Register new Mega.nz account

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

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.

Create new non-verified account.
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 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.

Your real (or fake) name.
Plaintext password. No strength checking is done, so make sure you pick a strong password yourself.
After registration, print the command that can be used to finish the registration in a format suitable for scripting purposes.
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.
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
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.
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.
Load configuration from a file
Disable loading .megarc
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

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 \
