Quick setup, with encryption

1. Java 1.8 or newer must be installed. Please see the notice about stronger encryption if you wish to use a key size larger than 128 bits.
2. Download the lastest release JAR.
3. Generate a secret key file using the generate-key subcommand, providing the desired encryption strength and the path at which the key will be generated. Be sure to keep this secret key in a safe place, as losing the key means losing access to your data.

   $ java -jar manta-archiver-1.0.0.jar generate-key [128, 192, 256] <local-path>

4. Generate a configuration file with the key strength from the previous command. This will generate a file named env.sh in the current directory.

   $ java -jar manta-archiver-1.0.0.jar generate-env [128, 192, 256]

5. Source env.sh. This uses the generated file to configure manta-archiver. This script also performs some sanity checks and will display suggestions for fixing common errors. Don't forget to edit the file and set MANTA_PASSWORD if your key requires a passphrase!

   $ source env.sh

6. You should now be able to run the connect-test subcommand:

   $ java -jar manta-archiver-1.0.0.jar connect-test
   ...
   Request was successful

7. Finally, archive a folder with the upload subcommand:

   $ java -jar manta-archiver-1.0.0.jar upload .../path/to/local/directory/ ~~/stor/path/to/remote/directory/
   Maven Archiver - Upload
   
   Bulk upload to Manta : [.../path/to/local/directory/] --> [/account/stor/path/to/remote/directory/]
   Total files to upload: 3
   Total size to upload : 4 KB (4909)
   
   Uploading 100% [==========================================================] 4909/4909 (0:00:03 / 0:00:00)

   • If you encounter a Remote path does not exist error, try using the -p/--mkdirp flag as in upload -p <local> <remote>
