How To Mount VeraCrypt Containers?

We will have the following assumptions

• The veracrypt container is in the users home directory
• The veracrypt container is named project.vc
• We want to mount the project to the directory ~/project

Mounting Procedure

1. Make sure you are in the same directory as the veracrypt container

   cd ~
   

2. Make sure the mount directory exists

   mkdir -p ./project
   

3. Mount the container

   veracrypt --mount project.vc ./project
   

   • Enter Password: Enter your password
   • Enter the rest of the information it asks (Usually just leave blank)

Your container should now be mounted. You can check by going into the directory and checking your files.
