## Install required tools
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Tomb needs a few programs to be installed on a system in order to work:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* zsh
|
|
|
|
* gnupg
|
|
|
|
* cryptsetup
|
|
|
|
* pinentry-curses (or -gtk or -qt as you prefer)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most systems provide these tools in their package collection,
|
|
|
|
for instance on Debian/Ubuntu one can use 'apt-get install'
|
|
|
|
on Fedora and CentOS one can use 'yum install'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install Tomb
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install Tomb simply download the source distribution (the tar.gz file)
|
|
|
|
and decompress it. From a terminal:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd Downloads
|
|
|
|
tar xvfz Tomb-1.5.3.tar.gz (correct with actual file name)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then enter its directory and run 'make install' as root, this will install
|
|
|
|
Tomb into /usr/local:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd Tomb-1.5.3 (correct with actual directory name)
|
|
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
After installation one can read the commandline help or read the manual:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tomb -h (print a short help on the commandline)
|
|
|
|
man tomb (show the full usage manual)
|
|

At this point one can proceed creating a tomb, for instance:

|
|
|
tomb forge -k secrets.tomb.key (be patient and follow instructions)
