# CryFS [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/cryfs/cryfs.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/cryfs/cryfs)
CryFS encrypts your files, so you can safely store them anywhere. It works well together with cloud services like Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive and others.
See [https://www.cryfs.org](https://www.cryfs.org).

Install latest release
======================

Easy install (Ubuntu and Debian)
--------------------------------

    wget -O - https://www.cryfs.org/install.sh | sudo bash

Manual install (Ubuntu)
-----------------------

    # Add apt key
    wget -O - https://www.cryfs.org/apt.key | sudo apt-key add -

    # Add apt repository
    sudo sh -c "echo \"deb http://apt.cryfs.org/ubuntu `lsb_release -s -c` main\" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cryfs.list"

    # Install cryfs
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install cryfs

Manual install (Debian)
-----------------------
    # Add apt key
    wget -O - https://www.cryfs.org/apt.key | sudo apt-key add -

    # Add apt repository
    sudo sh -c "echo \"deb http://apt.cryfs.org/debian `lsb_release -s -c` main\" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cryfs.list"

    # Install cryfs
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install cryfs

GUI
===
If you want to use a GUI to mount your CryFS volumes, take a look at the [cryfs-gui project](https://github.com/mhogomchungu/cryfs-gui). You have to install the GUI **and** also CryFS itself for it to work.

Building from source
====================

Requirements
------------
  - Git (for getting the source code)
  - GCC version >= 4.8 or Clang >= 3.7
  - CMake version >= 2.8
  - libcurl4 (including development headers)
  - Boost libraries version >= 1.56 (including development headers)
    - filesystem
    - system
    - chrono
    - program_options
    - thread
  - Crypto++ version >= 5.6.3 (including development headers)
  - SSL development libraries (including development headers, e.g. libssl-dev)
  - libFUSE version >= 2.8.6 (including development headers), on Mac OS X instead install osxfuse from https://osxfuse.github.io/
  - Python >= 2.7

You can use the following commands to install these requirements

        # Ubuntu
        $ sudo apt-get install git g++ cmake libcurl4-openssl-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libcrypto++-dev libssl-dev libfuse-dev python

        # Fedora
        sudo dnf install git gcc-c++ cmake libcurl-devel boost-devel boost-static cryptopp-devel openssl-devel fuse-devel python

        # Macintosh
        brew install cmake boost cryptopp openssl

Build & Install
---------------

 1. Clone repository

        $ git clone https://github.com/cryfs/cryfs.git cryfs
        $ cd cryfs

 2. Build

        $ mkdir cmake && cd cmake
        $ cmake ..
        $ make

 3. Install

        $ sudo make install

You can pass the following variables to the *cmake* command (using *-Dvariablename=value*):
 - -D**CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE**=[Release|Debug]: Whether to run code optimization or add debug symbols. Default: Release
 - -D**BUILD_TESTING**=[on|off]: Whether to build the test cases (can take a long time). Default: off

Troubleshooting
---------------

On most systems, CMake should find the libraries automatically. However, that doesn't always work.

1. **Boost headers not found**

    Pass in the boost include path with

        cmake .. -DBoost_INCLUDE_DIRS=/path/to/boost/headers

    If you want to link boost dynamically (e.g. you don't have the static libraries), use the following:

        cmake .. -DBoost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=off

2. **Fuse/Osxfuse library not found**

    Pass in the library path with

        cmake .. -DFUSE_LIB_PATH=/path/to/fuse/or/osxfuse

3. **Fuse/Osxfuse headers not found**

    Pass in the include path with

        cmake .. -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-I/path/to/fuse/or/osxfuse/headers"

4. **CryptoPP library not found**

    Pass in the library path with

        cmake .. -DCRYPTOPP_LIB_PATH=/path/to/cryptopp

5. **Openssl headers not found**

    Pass in the include path with

        cmake .. -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-I/path/to/openssl/include"


Creating .deb packages
----------------------

There are additional requirements if you want to create .deb packages. They are:
 - CMake version >= 3.3
 - (optional) rpmbuild

 1. Clone repository

        $ git clone https://github.com/cryfs/cryfs.git cryfs
        $ cd cryfs

 2. Build

        $ mkdir cmake && cd cmake
        $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_TESTING=off
        $ make package
