How To Install Truecrypt on Debian

32 bit

sudo wget http://www.truecrypt.org/download/truecrypt-7.1a-linux-x86.tar.gz

or 64 bit

sudo wget http://www.truecrypt.org/download/truecrypt-7.1a-linux-x64.tar.gz

Extract

sudo tar -zxvf truecrypt*.gz

here is where I got hung. type the single quotes as well

sudo '/home/username/truecrypt-7.1a-setup-x64'

or alternatively, drag and drop the file into a terminal (as root) and it will produce the above command line

You may need to add your username to sudoers in order to mount your drive
