Ubuntu & Mint Linux Installation

A short guide on how to install SecureCircle Agent on Ubuntu/Mint Linux machine

Download and Install

• Download the installer for Linux. File will have an extension .run
• Open the terminal and type these commands
• Add privilege to execute this file

chmod +x fhfs.run

• Download new package info

sudo apt update

• Execute the installer and provide invitation ID and server address

sudo INVITATION_ID=yourinvitationid ./fhfs.run --tracker=dev.securecircle.io --no-root-overlay

Create a SecureCircle directory

1. Create some directory to use with SecureCircle. All read/write/encrypt/decrypt/magic folder operations should happen below this

sudo bash -c "mkdir /opt/securecircle; chown username:users /opt/securecircle; chmod g+w /opt/securecircle"

2. Configure the directory to fhfs overlay mount at boot

echo 'none /opt/securecircle fhfs rw,relatime,mount=/opt/securecircle 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

3. Mount everything in filesystem table (fstab)

sudo mount -a

Now you can use /opt/securecircle as the main directory or use another directory while installing

Uninstall

sudo service fhagent stop
sudo apt remove securecircle
-----Manually delete fhfs fstab mount point---
