# Syncrypt client

Syncrypt is a fully encrypted file storage service for groups and private backups. This is the client that you can use to store and retrieve files. The client will also do all encryption.

## Installation

Option 1: Install from PyPI (requires Python 3)

pip install syncrypt

This requires the snappy-c library in order to build the [python-snappy](https://github.com/andrix/python-snappy) dependency. In Ubuntu, you can install it with the APT package libsnappy-dev.

Option 2: Download one of the distribution packages:

• OS X (TBD)

• Linux (TBD)

• Windows (TBD)

Option 3: Install from source:

pip install git+https://github.com/syncrypt/client

## Let’s get started

The syncrypt executable is the command line interface for Syncrypt. You can login to syncrypt so that you won’t have to enter your login for every command you issue.

syncrypt login

This will ask for the email and the password of your Syncrypt account. If you do not have an account yet, please [sign up](https://syncrypt.space/) for our closed alpha mailing list and we will send you an invite.

You can now initialize an arbitary directory as a vault. Simply change into this directory using cd and call:

syncrypt init

After you’ve set up the directory, you can push all of its contents by typing:

syncrypt push

For an extensive description of syncrypt commands, please see the [client manual](docs/manual.md).
