I tried to set up an entirely new partition containing antiX-22. I don’t know what I did wrong, but it flopped miserably. I’ve chosen zzz-Icewm desktop. But, this problem extends into other desktops too.
Setting up VeraCrypt seemed to proceed normally – until I tried to actually run the program. I set up a launcher on the desktop, as I normally do – but, clicking on that launcher doesn’t run the program. Instead, it creates a file on my desktop, with a name that’s mainly non-displayable characters.
I’m not sure if I should simply try to start over, or try to fix this installation. I was thinking that perhaps I should try to install VeraCrypt onto the antiX-22 Live flashdrive, and then perform the HD install cloning the flashdrive’s setup?
I’m going to try to attach 3 .jpg’s to display what’s going on. One of them simply shows the permissions for VeraCrypt. The other 2 are to show what I’m seeing with the undisplayable file name.
Here’s the output of inxi -Fxxxrz:

Because I do like security, I tested VeraCrypt, on my antiX 21, 64 bits.
It installed fine, and worked flawlessly.
I created a tutorial for it, over at https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/tip-using-encryption-with-veracrypt/#post-94300
Please check it that helps you, installing and using V.C.P.

Thanks, PPC!
That’s different than what I’ve done in the past, and did w/ a22 this time. What I’ve always done, is dl’ the generic VC file, extract from that, and then install what was extracted. In this case, the file I used was veracrypt-1.25.9-setup.tar.bz2. I’ve never used the .deb file, or used click-and-drag. But, I’ll take what you wrote as being instructions, and follow the instructions.Because I do like security, I tested VeraCrypt, on my antiX 21, 64 bits.

I tried to follow directions, but wasn’t able to.
The file manager didn’t allow me to click-and-drag. Instead, the click-and-drag maneuver created a selection rectangle on the screen.My solution was to type in the filename manually.
I tried it twice. The first time, I used the full path.
The second time, I made sure I was in the directory containing the .deb file, and simply named the file to be installed.
Both efforts flopped.I took a screenshot, to show what happened:

From what I see in your terminal you need to prefix the file name with ‘./’. So it should be ./veracrypt…
Live antiX Boot Options (Previously posted by Xecure):
https://antixlinuxfan.miraheze.org/wiki/Table_of_antiX_Boot_ParametersMy solution was to type in the filename manually.
And you managed to do it correctly – entering the full path to the .deb (the drag and drop suggestion is just to avoid you the trouble of typing a long command).
When you tried to run the command that points to the full path of the deb file you didn’t make any mistake. the OS tried to install the file but was unable to install some dependencies. Assuming that you did grab the correct .deb file for your antiX version AND that you are connected to the network, my best guess is that you never performed any update in that system. It’s always advisable to do so before trying to install anything, so the latest version of any needed dependecy does get installed. So, befor running the command again, try this (and enter your password if asked to):
sudo apt updateit should update the database of all Debian packages available in the repos, allowing you to correctly install VC.
Note1: your inability to drag and drop from the File Manager was probably due to you using Rox-filer as FM. Try doing the same in ZZZfm- it’s more intuitive, to most users.
Note2: also if you are trying to drag and drop using a touch-pad, you have to double tap the thing you want to drag, move to where you want to drop it and only then lift your finger from the touch-pad.
Note3: while in the same folder as the file you want to use, like @olsztyn said, to use a file that’s inside the current folder, its name has to be preceded by “./” (it’s a Linux convention- this means “I’m talking about the file with this name, in this current folder”). Otherwise the OS probably tries to run a file with that name that’s in your Path, it finds nothing, because there’s no such file in your path and then reports the error you got. Also: to refer to a file that is in your home folder, you can simply use the prefix “~/” (it’s the same as typing /home/[user_name]/ before the name of the file. Do not use spaces between ./ or ~/ and the file name, it’s all part of the place where the file is, on single “word” (and in case the file has spaces, it has to be inside simple quotation marks, so the OS know that even having spaces, it’s still the same file name, not another command).
When I migrated from Windows, I had to learn all this the hard way (by trial and error and by searching on-line), so I’m saving you that trouble. Most of that info is in my “Newbie Guide”, in the sticky posts – please, take a read, it will save you some pain, in the future- I tried to make it as easy to read as possible, and also as informative as possible. I’ll probably include a section about using the terminal on it…

Is the flashdrive updated? The unmet depencies are avalaible packages on antiX22, if it is updated.
Uups, PPC wrote it already.- This reply was modified 5 months, 1 week ago by caprea.
This thread should be marked “solved”, because I found the solution.
* Extract the tarball into a convenient place.
* Verify that the file to be installed is marked executable.
* Open a terminal as ROOT, into the expanded directory.
(Or, open a terminal into the directory, and use “su” to become root.)
* Type the filename as a command, using the “./”prefix.
* Select to install.
* Press Enter repeatedly, to read the license.
* Agree to be bound by the license (“y”).
* Watch it finish installing.
