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
- 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"
- 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
- 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---
