Development on TrueCrypt has been halted and the last version of TrueCrypt (v7.2) does not allow creation of new volumes. VeraCrypt is a fork of TrueCrypt source code that offers updated encryption settings and a GUI that is the same as in TrueCrypt. This might be closest replacement of TrueCrypt, if you were looking for that.
- The Linux installation file can be downloaded from here. Installation is similar to TrueCrypt: you unzip and then install the script file using
sudo. -
VeraCrypt volumes can be created and mounted just like in TrueCrypt.
-
To mount your TrueCrypt volumes, click the TrueCrypt Mode checkbox in the dialog.
-
To mount from shell:
veracrypt --password="my pass" --mount /path/to/volume.vc /media/veracrypt1 -
To unmount from shell:
veracrypt --dismount /path/to/volume.vc -
To unmount all mounted volumes:
veracrypt --dismount -
When mounting a Truecrypt volume, use
--truecryptat the beginning.
Tried with: VeraCrypt 1.14 and Ubuntu 15.04
