# MEGA D/l 
**macOS workflow and shell script to download files from public mega.nz shares using the megatools**
Minimum OS: **OS X 10.8**
* click on a MEGA URL (or select a bunch of MEGA URLs), and select **Download from MEGA** from **Services** in the contextual menu
* on first run, **MEGA D/l** will ask you to select the location of your MEGA download folder
You can reset your download folder choice by running the following command:
`rm -rf $HOME/Library/Preferences/local.lcars.MEGAdl.plist`
After that **MEGA D/l** will let you select a different MEGA download folder.
## Installations
### megatools [prerequisite]
More information: [megatools](https://github.com/megous/megatools)
* install using [Homebrew](http://brew.sh) with `brew install megatools` (or with a similar manager)
### Main installation
* [Download the latest DMG](https://github.com/JayBrown/MEGA-D-l/releases) and open
#### Workflow
* Double-click on the workflow file to install
* If you encounter problems, open it with Automator and save/install from there
#### Main shell script [optional]
Only necessary if for some reason you want to run this from the shell or another shell script. For normal use the workflow will be sufficient.
* Move the script `megadl.sh` to e.g. `/usr/local/bin`
* In your shell enter `chmod +x /usr/local/bin/megadl.sh`
* Run the script with `megadl.sh ''` (it has to be in your $PATH)
### terminal-notifier [optional, recommended]
More information: [terminal-notifier](https://github.com/alloy/terminal-notifier)
You need to have Spotlight enabled for `mdfind` to locate the terminal-notifier.app on your volume; if you don't install terminal-notifier, or if you have deactivated Spotlight, the MEGA D/l scripts will call notifications via AppleScript instead
* install using [Homebrew](http://brew.sh) with `brew install terminal-notifier` (or with a similar manager)
* move or copy `terminal-notifier.app` from the Homebrew Cellar to a suitable location, e.g. to `/Applications`, `/Applications/Utilities`, or `$HOME/Applications`
