General Information

--------------------------------

BestCrypt for Linux comes as binary packages for major Linux distributions.

BestCrypt consists of three parts:

* Console utility (package name: bestcrypt)

* kernel modules (package name: bestcrypt-dkms)

* BestCrypt Control Panel - graphical interface written on Qt5

(package name: bestcrypt-panel)

BestCrypt Control Panel is dependent and optional package. It means, that,

for being able to install and use it, you need to install the console utility

first.

For being able to use BestCrypt Control Panel (GUI), you need to have

X Server installed. BestCrypt is officially supported in Gnome, Unity, KDE

and Xfce, but should work, possibly with some limitations, in other desktops.

Once you have installed the program you should be able to locate BestCrypt Control Panel

in the Applications->Accessories menu of your desktop environment.

If, by some reason, you can't find it just execute `bestcrypt-panel`

command in a terminal session.
