It looks like you are downloading the ebuild by hand from their web site. |
53 |
|
54 |
I just installed Megesync 4.5.3 on my system, which has ffmpeg-4.4 |
55 |
|
56 |
The commands I used were: |
57 |
|
58 |
layman -a 4nykey |
59 |
|
60 |
to add the 4nykey overlay, which contains megasync, then |
61 |
|
62 |
emerge -a megasync |
63 |
|
64 |
just like other portage programs. |
65 |

67 |
If you still get any crypto-related errors, have a look for the recent news item |
