Step 1: Install Vault 3
Note: in the instructions below, replace "{install folder}" with the path of the folder containing the Vault 3 app. Replace "{settings folder}" with a path to a folder in which Vault 3's configuration settings will be stored.
For example, on my Linux system I use the following paths:
| Path | |
|---|---|
| {install folder} | /home/eric/Apps/Vault3LinuxGTK_x86_64 |
| {settings folder} | /home/eric/Apps/Vault3Settings |
- Download Vault 3 for Linux (Intel/AMD 64-bit).
- Unzip the file to a hard disc folder.
- You will need to specify that the "java" file in the "custom-runtime" folder is executable.
In a command shell, "cd" to the folder in which you installed Vault 3 and execute the following command:chmod +x custom-runtime/bin/java
You can also use the "Files" app to make the "java" file executable (see below). - Right-click the Linux Desktop.
