# megareg(1)

Register new Mega.nz account

## 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. 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 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\>.

- \--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

- \--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:

```
$ 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!
```
