This guide provides a step-by-step process for downloading, compiling and installing MegaCMD (the cloud storage solution) on DietPi OS for the Orange Pi 5. The same instructions would likely work for a Raspberry Pi, but this has not been tested.

Versions

OrangePi: 5 (aarch64)
DietPi: 9.4.2
MegaCMD: 1.7.0.0: code 1070000
FFmpeg: 5.1.4-0+deb12u1

Installation

  1. Install package dependencies required for MegaCMD.
sudo apt install -y libcrypto++8 libpcrecpp0v5 libc-ares-dev zlib1g-dev libuv1 libssl-dev libsodium-dev readline-common sqlite3 curl autoconf libtool g++ libcrypto++-dev libz-dev libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libreadline-dev libpcre3-dev libsodium-dev libc-ares-dev libfreeimage-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libmediainfo-dev libzen-dev libicu-dev git
  1. install the necessary build tools.
sudo apt install -y automake make cmake build-essential libuv1-dev libssl-dev libhwloc-dev
  1. Clone the MegaCMD repository from GitHub to fetch all submodules.
git clone https://github.com/meganz/MEGAcmd.git
cd MEGAcmd && git submodule update --init --recursive
  1. Run the MegaCMD configuration script.
sh autogen.sh
./configure
  1. Build and Install MegaCMD.
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
  1. Login to MegaCMD.
mega-login test@example.com "password"
  1. Enable MegaCMD to restart automatically using CRON.
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

@reboot mega-sync

Updating MegaCMD

If you need to update MegaCMD, delete the $HOME/.megaCmd folder and re-run the steps above. You will have to login again, but your data will be preserved.

Troubleshooting

🐞 Can't build with FFMpeg 6.0

You may encounter the following error related to FFmpeg:

FFMpeg removed AV_CODEC_CAP_TRUNCATED and CODEC_CAP_TRUNCATED definitions and now I can't build MegaSync with this error:

mega/src/gfx/freeimage.cpp: In member function 'bool mega::GfxProviderFreeImage::readbitmapFfmpeg(mega::FileSystemAccess*, const mega::LocalPath&, int)':

Solution

Update the code in ./sdk/src/gfx/freeimage.cpp to make it compatible with FFmpeg >= 5. You can find the necessary changes in the following pull request: Fix build with FFMPEG 5 #2614.
