Getting started with Cyphertite

To install the Cyphertite software on your GNU/Linux operating system, you will have to download the latest release from either Softoware or the project’s website, save the archive on your Home directory, and use your favorite archive manager utility to unpack it.

Then, open a Terminal app, go to the location where you’ve extracted the archive file (e.g. cd /home/softoware/cyphertite-2.0.4) and run the ‘sh ct_install.sh’ command as root (alternatively, you can run the ‘sudo sh ct_install.sh’ command as a privileged user) and follow the on-screen instructions.
