Please note that while your blog reader may wrap the command below, it should be one line in your shell script or from the command line. Let’s start by looking at the long line of code needed to create a container. We’ll explain its use shortly, but you’ll need to copy this file into Documents as well, or when the time comes include the full path to it. Second, included in this demo is a randomdata.txt file. This will make it easier as we won’t have to specify full paths to our files. So in the terminal be sure to cd into your Documents. First, I’ll be storing the container in my Documents folder. OK, let’s get started! Creating a Containerīefore we begin I’d like to make two notes. I’ll update it over time as needed, and it may be easier for you to download, or cut and paste from it. While I will be providing samples here, you should also check out the project I have on GitHub that goes with this post, In the terminal, I moved to my Downloads folder then issued this command to install it: sudo dpkg -i įrom here I went into Ubuntu’s menu and launched VeraCrypt to validate it installed correctly. In the Ubuntu 20.04 area, I downloaded file into my Downloads folder. I went to and scrolled down to the Linux area. sudo apt-get install -y exfat-fuse exfat-utils Next, in order to format a volume as exFat so it can be used across platforms, you’ll need to install the exFat tools. Sudo apt-get install -y libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5 From the terminal execute these commands. Prerequisitesīefore you install VeraCrypt, you should be aware it has a dependency on the libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5 library, so we might as well install that first. Creating a container, mounting a container (aka volume), getting a list of mounted volumes, and finally dismounting your volumes.Īs I stated in previous posts, the command line syntax is a bit different for all the major operating systems.

In this, the third post on using VeraCrypt from the command line, we’ll cover how to use VeraCrypt from Linux, specifically Ubuntu 20.04.
