3. Installing CLI Tools on Berry Linux

Berry Linux is Fedora‐based, so most tools can be installed via dnf or by downloading binaries.

• Enable RPM Fusion and EPEL if needed.
• Use dnf install ltpackagegt where available, else download from the vendor.

4. CLI Usage Examples

4.1 pCloud (pcloudcc)

Install:

sudo dnf install pcloudcc

Authenticate mount:

pcloudcc --user your@email.com --password yourPassword
# or use interactive login
pcloudcc --daemonize --mountpoint ~/pcloud

Common issues:

• FUSE errors: ensure fuse3 is installed and your user is in fuse group.
• Connection timeouts: adjust --timeout.

4.2 MEGA (mega-cmd)

Install:

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://mega.nz/linux/MEGAsync/Fedora_36/x86_64/mega.repo
sudo dnf install mega-cmd

Basic commands:

mega-login your@email.com yourPassword
mega-mkdir /Root/myfolder
mega-put localfile.txt /Root/myfolder/
mega-ls /Root/myfolder
mega-get /Root/myfolder/localfile.txt ~/Downloads/

Common issues:

• “Internal error”: upgrade to latest mega-cmd.
• Bandwidth cap: free accounts have daily transfer limits.

4.3 Proton Drive (proton-drive-cli)

Install (requires Python ≥3.8):

python3 -m pip install --user proton-drive-cli

Authenticate and sync:

proton-drive login
proton-drive sync --local /home/user/pdrive --remote /

filen login
filen ls
filen upload ~/Documents/report.pdf

• Slow transfers: try --parallel 4 for multiple threads.

4.5 Tresorit (via rclone)

Install rclone:

sudo dnf install rclone

Configure Tresorit remote:

rclone config
# Choose n for new remote, name tresorit
# Under Storage, choose Tresorit
# Follow OAuth flow in browser

Operations:

rclone ls tresorit:
rclone copy ~/backup tresorit:mybackup --progress

Common issues:

• OAuth failures: ensure correct redirect URI in app settings.

Install:

git clone https://github.com/andreafabrizi/Dropbox-Uploader.git
cd Dropbox-Uploader
chmod  x dropbox_uploader.sh
sudo mv dropbox_uploader.sh /usr/local/bin/dropbox-uploader

dropbox-uploader upload file.txt /Apps/MyApp/
dropbox-uploader download /Apps/MyApp/file.txt .

4.8 Google Drive (rclone)

Configuration and use similar to Tresorit above choose “Google Drive” remote in rclone config.

5. Typical Problems Troubleshooting

• FUSE mount errors: Confirm fuse3 is installed and kernel modules loaded (lsmod grep fuse).
• Authentication failures: Use app‐specific passwords when 2FA is enabled double‐check credentials.
• Rate limits timeouts: Lower parallel transfers, increase timeouts with --timeout flags.
• Dependency mismatches: Keep your Berry Linux system updated install missing libraries from EPEL/RPM Fusion.
