How to install TrueCrypt to Ubuntu


http://unixlab.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-install-truecrypt-on-ubuntu-1010.html

Firstly, download the required TrueCrypt installation file for Linux.

Once downloaded, untar or unzip the file with this command.

tar -xzvf truecrypt-7.1a-linux-x86.tar.gz

Only 1 file will be extracted which is the installation file. This is the file which we need to install. This is actually a shell script file. So we need to run this shell script with either :-

1. sh
2. bash

sh truecrypt-7.1a-setup-x86

You can read further on running shell script here http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/run-execute-sh-shell-script/

Congratulations. TrueCrypt has been installed. Just type "truecrypt" to run it.
