# rclonedecrypt 0.2.6
**CLI to decrypt rclone-encrypted files**
## Features
* **Cross-platform**: Compiles to native binaries for Linux, Windows and macOS
* **Fast decryption**: Efficient handling of large encrypted files
* **rclone compatible**: Implements the same encryption algorithm used by rclone
* **Command-line interface**: Easy to use from terminal or scripts
* **Repo**: https://github.com/pepa65/rclonedecrypt
* **After**: https://github.com/mcolatosti/rclonedecrypt
- Removed various password options
- Removed the -i/--input flag (made it a positional argument)
- Removed inline-tests
- Adjusted documentation for rclone 1.59
## Installation
### Prerequisites
- Rust toolchain (install from [rustup.rs](https://rustup.rs/))
### Building from source
```bash
git clone https://github.com/pepa65/rclonedecrypt
cd rclonedecrypt
cargo rel # The binary gets symlinked to `rclonedecrypt`
```
### Run test
`./test.sh`
### Build different targets
* Linux: `cargo rel` (gives standalone static binary)
* Intel macOS: `cargo build --release --target x86_64-apple-darwin`
* Apple Silicon macOS: `cargo build --release --target aarch64-apple-darwin`
* Windows (with `mingw-w64`): `cargo build --release --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu`
