gocryptfs Quickstart
====================
Download or Compile gocryptfs
-----------------------------
If you are running Fedora or a Debian-based Linux distribution like Ubuntu,
chances are that the precompiled binaries will work on your system.
Download the corresponding binary for your system from the
[github releases page](https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/releases) and
extract the archive into `~/bin`.
If you want or need to compile from source, see the [Compile](compile.md) page for
instructions.
Once you have gocrypts in `~/bin`, running
$ ~/bin/gocryptfs -version
should print a version string like this:
gocryptfs v0.x; on-disk format 2
Create and Mount Filesystem
---------------------------
$ mkdir cipher plain
$ ~/bin/gocryptfs -init cipher
[...]
$ ~/bin/gocryptfs cipher plain
[...]
You should now have a working gocryptfs that is stored in `cipher` and mounted to `plain`.
You can verify it by creating a test file in the `plain` directory. This file will show
up encrypted in the `cipher` directory.
$ touch plain/test.txt
$ ls cipher
gocryptfs.conf gocryptfs.diriv ZSuIZVzYDy5-TbhWKY-ciA==
