VeraCrypt is cross-platform, so you need to download and install the proper setup file for your OS. With that out of the way, lets see how to create a simple encrypted container with VeraCrypt. This led to another group of developers forking TrueCrypt, fixing many of its vulnerabilities and security issues, and launching VeraCrypt as a worthy successor.

A container is basically a file that can be mounted as a separate volume (or drive), and can hold other files and folders in it.
