To get started with AkashCLI, your users should follow these steps. You can provide this guide as a README.md or a "Getting Started" message in your bot.


🚀 Akash Vault: Getting Started Guide

AkashCLI is the professional command-line interface and SDK for interacting with your E2E encrypted vault. Follow these steps to install and secure your first files.

1. Prerequisites

Ensure you have Python 3.10+ and pip installed on your machine (Linux, Termux, Mac, or Windows).

2. Installation

Since this is a custom package, users can install it directly from your source code or repository:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/juniorsir/akashcli
cd akashcli

# Install in editable mode
pip install . --break-system-packages

3. First-Time Setup (Authentication)

Before using the vault, you must link your device using an API Key generated from the Akash Telegram Bot.

  1. Open the Bot and go to 👤 My Account -> 🔑 Generate API Key.
  2. In your terminal, run:
    akash login
    
  3. Enter your API Key when prompted. Your key will be encrypted and bound to your hardware automatically.

4. Daily Workflow Commands

📤 Uploading Content

Upload a file:

akash upload movie.mp4

Upload a secret text snippet:

akash upload --text "My secret server password is 1234" --name "passwords.txt"

Upload with security flags:

# Delete automatically after the first person views it
akash upload --burn secret_doc.pdf

# Set a 7-day expiry
akash upload --expiry 7 data_backup.zip

📦 Managing the Vault

List your most recent files:

akash files

Get file details or secure links:

akash stream FILE_CODE

Delete a file permanently:

akash delete FILE_CODE

5. Professional Features

🚀 Bulk Vaulting

Vault an entire folder of documents or images at once:

akash bulk ./my_documents_folder

🎬 Native Streaming

Stream a vaulted video directly into VLC Media Player without downloading:

akash stream FILE_CODE --vlc

📊 System Health

Check your remaining quota and vault status:

akash admin

6. Using the SDK (For Developers)

If you are building your own Python scripts, you can import the library directly:

from akashcli import AkashClient

# Initialize client (uses your encrypted local config)
client = AkashClient()

# Vault a log file
result = client.upload_file("system.log", expiry=30)
print(f"File secured! Access it at: {result.embed_url}")

# List all your files programmatically
for file in client.list_files():
    print(f"{file.name} -> {file.code}")

💡 Troubleshooting

  • Access Denied? Ensure you have set your API Key domains to * in the Telegram Bot under "Edit Domains."
  • VLC not opening? Ensure the vlc command is available in your system's PATH.
  • Forgot your key? Run akash login again to overwrite the old session.
