# Portable VeraCrypt Setup Instructions
|
|
|
|
Before running the main tool, you need to download portable VeraCrypt binaries.
|
|
These will be copied to the TOOLS partition so the device works on any computer.
|
|
|
|
## Required Downloads
|
|
|
|
Download the following files and place them in this directory (`tools/veracrypt/`):
|
|
|
|
### 1. Windows Portable (REQUIRED)
|
|
- **File**: `VeraCrypt Portable.exe`
|
|
- **URL**: https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Downloads.html
|
|
- **Section**: "Portable" under Windows
|
|
- **Size**: ~30 MB
|
|
- **Rename to**: `VeraCrypt-Portable-Windows.exe`
|
|
|
|
### 2. Linux Portable (REQUIRED)
|
|
- **Option A - GUI version**:
|
|
- Download from: https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Downloads.html
|
|
- Generic Installer: `veracrypt-*-setup.tar.bz2`
|
|
- Extract and place: `veracrypt-*-setup-gui-x64`
|
|
- **Rename to**: `VeraCrypt-Portable-Linux`
|
|
|
|

|
|
- Download: `veracrypt-*-setup-console-x64`
|
|
- **Rename to**: `VeraCrypt-Portable-Linux-Console`
|
|
|
|
### 3. macOS Portable (OPTIONAL)
|
|
- **File**: `VeraCrypt_*.dmg`
|
|
- **URL**: https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Downloads.html
|
|
- **Note**: Not truly "portable" but can be included for reference
|
|
- **Rename to**: `VeraCrypt-MacOS.dmg`
|
|
|
|
### 4. Android APK (OPTIONAL but recommended)
|
|
- **Source**: https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/releases
|
|
- **Alternative**: EDS Lite from Play Store (can't include, user must download)
|
|
- **Note**: Android apps can't be "portable" but having APK helps
|
|
|
|
## Quick Download Script
|
|
|
|
Run this to download automatically (Linux):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd tools/veracrypt/
|
|
|
|
# Windows Portable
|
|
wget https://launchpad.net/veracrypt/trunk/1.26.7/+download/VeraCrypt_Portable_1.26.7.exe \
|
|
-O VeraCrypt-Portable-Windows.exe
|
|
|
|
# Linux Console
|
|
wget https://launchpad.net/veracrypt/trunk/1.26.7/+download/veracrypt-console-1.26.7-Ubuntu-22.04-amd64.deb \
|
|
-O veracrypt-linux.deb
|
|
ar x veracrypt-linux.deb
|
|
tar xf data.tar.xz
|
|
cp usr/bin/veracrypt VeraCrypt-Portable-Linux
|
|
chmod +x VeraCrypt-Portable-Linux
|
|
rm -rf usr/ *.tar.* *.deb
|
|
|
|
# macOS
|
|
wget https://launchpad.net/veracrypt/trunk/1.26.7/+download/VeraCrypt_1.26.7.dmg \
|
|

|
|
|
|
echo "✓ Downloads complete!"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Verification
|
|
|
|
After downloading, your `tools/veracrypt/` directory should contain:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
tools/veracrypt/
|
|
├── DOWNLOAD_INSTRUCTIONS.md (this file)
|
|
├── VeraCrypt-Portable-Windows.exe (~30 MB)
|
|
├── VeraCrypt-Portable-Linux (~3-5 MB)
|
|
└── VeraCrypt-MacOS.dmg (~40 MB) [optional]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- **Total size**: ~70-80 MB for all platforms
|
|
- **License**: VeraCrypt is open source (Apache 2.0 / TrueCrypt License 3.0)
|
|
- **Updates**: Check veracrypt.fr periodically for newer versions
|
|
- These portable versions allow accessing your encrypted partition on ANY computer without installing software
|
|
|
|
## After Downloading
|
|
|
|
Once you have the files in place, run the main setup script:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo python3 covert_sd_card_tool.py -d /dev/sdX -a -t /path/to/tails.iso
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The script will automatically copy these portable versions to the TOOLS partition.
