VeraCrypt on MacOS
How to execute veracrypt command line?
The command is actually /Applications/VeraCrypt.app/Contents/MacOS/VeraCrypt
.
While there should always be an elegant way to use it!
You can set up a symbolic link named veracrypt
to the executable. The following will work in a terminal,
mkdir -p ~/bin ; # <<-- if it doesn't exist already
ln -s /Applications/VeraCrypt.app/Contents/MacOS/VeraCrypt ~/bin/veracrypt
You can then invoke it to get help with (the -t
is for text-only mode):
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" ; # <<-- if not already on your search path
veracrypt -t -h
Start using it, like:
veracrypt -m ro -k <keyfile> <volume> # mount the volume with keyfile in read-only mode
