# Installation
## Install with npm globally:
```
npm install -g authenticator-clui
```
# Steps to export accounts from Google Authenticator
## Get accounts URI
- Open `Google Authenticator` click on `...`
- Click `Export accounts`
- Click `Continue` select the account(s) which you want to export
- Click `Export` then you got the QRcode.
Use [online QRcode decoder to decode](https://zxing.org) the QRcode and get the URI.
# Import Accounts
## Import without encryption
Use [export accounts steps](#steps-to-export-accounts-from-google-authenticator) and copy URI from your phone then run `--import `
```
authenticator --import "otpauth-migration://offline?data=CicKFFFFNi94eGM5bGxUUWlQcWxJSjU0EgR0ZXN0GgNvdHAgASgBMAIQARgBIAA%3D"
```
## Import with encryption
Encrypt accounts data with [AES256 encryption](https://github.com/sthnaqvi/authenticator-clui/blob/master/src/encryption.js) using a strong password. The authenticator will ask the password every time when you run.
```
authenticator --encrypt --import "otpauth-migration://offline?data=CicKFFFFNi94eGM5bGxUUWlQcWxJSjU0EgR0ZXN0GgNvdHAgASgBMAIQARgBIAA%3D"
```
* Don't forgot to use `"double quotes"` in account URI
# Run Authenticator
## Run authenticator with imported account(s)
```
authenticator --run
```
* If your account will encrypted then every time when you run the authenticator it will ask for the **password**
# Permission denied when installing npm modules in OSX
Saw this from [Fixing npm permissions](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions) and it helped, maybe you could give it a shot as well.
## Option 1: Change the permission to npm's default directory
1. Find the path to npm's directory:
`npm config get prefix`
For many systems, this will be `/usr/local`.
**WARNING**: If the displayed path is just `/usr`, switch to *Option 2* or you will mess up your permissions.
2. Change the owner of npm's directories to the name of the current user (your username):
`sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(npm config get prefix)/{lib/node_modules,bin,share}`
This changes the permissions of the sub-folders used by npm and some other tools (`lib/node_modules`, `bin`, and `share`).
## Option 2: Change npm's default directory to another directory
There are times when you do not want to change ownership of the default directory that npm uses (i.e. `/usr`) as this could cause some problems, for example if you are sharing the system with other users.
Instead, you can configure npm to use a different directory altogether. In our case, this will be a hidden directory in our home folder.
1. Make a directory for global installations:
`mkdir ~/.npm-global`
2. Configure npm to use the new directory path:
`npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'`
3. Open or create a `~/.profile` file and add this line:
`export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH`
4. Back on the command line, update your system variables:
`source ~/.profile`
**Test**: Download a package globally without using `sudo`.
`npm install node-g.raphael --save`
Instead of steps 2-4, you can use the corresponding ENV variable (e.g. if you don't want to modify `~/.profile`):
NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX=~/.npm-global
## Option 3: Use a package manager that takes care of this for you.
If you're doing a fresh install of Node on Mac OS, you can avoid this problem altogether by using the `Homebrew` package manager. `Homebrew` sets things up out of the box with the correct permissions.
`brew install node`
