 +==== VeraCrypt Installation ====
 +
 +  - Launch the //VeraCrypt Setup.exe// file.
 +  - Select your preferred language. //Please keep in mind that this manual is written in English for the English version of VeraCrypt.//
 +  - Carefully read and accept the VeraCrypt License Agreement. //**NB**: The license states among other things that the user is responsible for the data and the correct working of the software.//
 +  - This installation procedure expects you to want to install VeraCrypt on your machine. Should you want/need to have it in portable mode (in order to not provide hints that you are storing encrypted data on your machine), please consult with the DCC ([[dcc@rug.nl|dcc@rug.nl]]).
 +  - Follow the installation instructions in the pictures below:

 +
 +Unselect the //Install for all users// option (underlined in blue) if you would like to only have it available for one user, but we don’t recommend you do so.
 +

 +
 +Click Finish (red box) and select **NO** for all options prompted by the installer. Should you need to adapt your Windows configuration for VeraCrypt, you will do so with assistance from an expert (as it is required mainly for System Encryption).
