Instructions for use:

$HOME/.config/arcalvus/arcalvus.json  #config file
$HOME/Documents/.arcalvus             #default storage path

The config file is created automatically the first time the config is posted, if you want to regenerate the config use the --init option.

By default, Arcalvus uses GPG keys, which you will need to specify when creating a config file.

You can create a key with the command:

gpg --full-generate-key     #Create GPG key
gpg -k                      #List Publick keys

WARNING, in order to avoid errors related to keys, use as a GPG_ID not mail, but fgp, it can be found out when displaying a list of keys.

when the first start was successful and a config file was created, You can already use 'Arcalvus', before using it you can choose a symmetric encryption algorithm, it is enabled in the config file.

{

}

{

}

WARNING: Use only one option.
