To update to this new version, just double-click Check for a new version of EasyGPG in the EasyGPG-Actions folder (or, if your version is earlier than 4.0, select Check for a new version of EasyGPG in the main menu).

If you update from a very old version, check to make sure you have the latest version. If not, update again.

To update a copy of EasyGPG older than 3.0, use the installer (below), but select your already-existing EasyGPG folder. If you do this correctly, you will be asked whether or not you want to replace the existing EasyGPG. Click “Replace” to replace your old version of EasyGPG with the latest version.

To install EasyGPG for the first time, click on one of the following links. This is a tar.gz file. Extract the contents of the file, which will be a folder called EasyGPG-Installer. Open the folder, and double-click Install EasyGPG. This will create your new EasyGPG folder, and build all the files and folders inside it.

If the Desktop files (all the Actions and the main Desktop file) do not work, you will need to install a graphical file manager that complies with the XDG standards: nemo, caja, pcmanfm, thunar, or dolphin.

When using software, the greatest threat to privacy and security is the Internet.

I will make no attempt to discover who is using my software, where, when, how, or for what purpose.
