Normally you would not want to hard code it, but # Here I'm going to keep it small for demo purposes and use 200 megabytes. # bytes, but you can also affix M for megabytes, G gigabytes, K kilobytes, and so on. If you just list a number, VeraCrypt assumes you mean # We next tell VeraCrypt we want to create a new file container, and where it is # Note, the -text parameter must be the FIRST parameter you pass in, or # The -text parameter says we want to use VeraCrypt in text mode, not GUI # This is the command to launch VeraCrypt from the command line # it into its individual parameters and explain each one. # At the bottom of this file is the command as one long line, but let's first break # time comes include the full path to it. # shortly, but you'll need to copy this file into Documents as well, or when the # 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. # Before we begin I'd like to make two notes. # From here I went into Ubuntu's menu and launched VeraCrypt to validate it installed
