How To Install zulucrypt on Fedora 34

zulucrypt is Qt GUI front end to cryptsetup

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install zulucrypt on Fedora 34.

What is zulucrypt

zuluCrypt is a front end to cryptsetup. It makes it easier to use cryptsetup by providing a Qt-based GUI and a simpler to use CLI frontend to cryptsetup. It does the same thing truecrypt does but without licensing problems or requiring a user to setup sudo for it or presenting root’s password. This package contains the applications.

We can use yum or dnf to install zulucrypt on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install zulucrypt.

Install zulucrypt on Fedora 34 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh

The output should look something like this:

Fedora 34 - x86_64                               20 kB/s | 6.6 kB     00:00
Fedora 34 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64        1.4 kB/s | 989  B     00:00
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64                       68 kB/s | 6.5 kB     00:00
Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Updates                    3.5 kB/s | 6.2 kB     00:01
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates             17 kB/s | 5.9 kB     00:00
Metadata cache created.

After updating yum database, We can install zulucrypt using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install zulucrypt

Install zulucrypt on Fedora 34 Using yum

Update yum database with yum using the following command.

sudo yum makecache --refresh
