| The system partition and, if you have one, the data partition have been encrypted and unlocked. They appear to the system to be clear space, so they still need (logical) partitions and file systems. You will use the LVM (logical volume manager) to do this, and then you will create the relevant file systems (i.e. format them). |

1. Explanation
You will download and run the script (application) that will:
- Prepare your partitions for the installer
- Run the installer
- Fix problems created by the installer
2. Download the application
Open the terminal (Ctrl+T, or use the menu).
- Copy-and-paste the following command to download the application. Warning: This looks like two lines because of the documentation formatting, but it's in fact just one line. Copy the entire thing and paste it into your terminal.
sudo wget --no-verbose --output-document=/usr/local/sbin/encryptinstallation https://www.dropbox.com/s/dmqnzqs1bbp6dm9/encryptinstallation?dl=1
- Copy-and-paste the following command to enable the application to run.
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/encryptinstallation
3. Run the application
In a moment, you will start the application. When you do so:
- It will ask you some questions.
- It will prepare your system for the Installer.
- It will start the Installer.
When it starts the Installer, you will need to open the instructions (I'll remind you).
So…
Still in the terminal, enter this command:
encryptinstallation
Answer the questions, and when the Installer starts, open the instructions.
