An Idiots Guide to Installing Truecrypt Quickly and Easily in uBuntu 12.04+

So Truecrypt isn't available in the software centre any more which is a bit of a pain but it's one of those bits of software you can't really do without.

Not to worry.

1. Open up the terminal and type:

For 32bit systems...

wget http://www.truecrypt.org/download/truecrypt-7.1a-linux-x86.tar.gz

Or for 64bit systems...

http://www.truecrypt.org/download/truecrypt-7.1a-linux-x64.tar.gz

2. Extract it... 

tar -zxvf truecrypt*.gz

3. And install it... 

sudo ./truecrypt-7.1a-setup-x86  

And your done!
