Title: Tail/PGP for Mac
Post by: ws on February 10, 2013, 12:23 pm
Can anybody give me a step by step process to get set-up on mac or provide me with a link to somewhere which would be of some use as I seem to be struggling.

https://tails.boum.org/download/index.en.html

I've downloaded the tails 0.16

Then you have to download tails signing in key and import it into terminal, I know how to open terminal but I can seem to open the downloaded signing in file? It says the document tails signing in key could not be read?

Any help would be great!  :)

First, get the nightly build of GPGTools at:
https://nightly.gpgtools.com

Then, read these tutorials on how to set it up, and how to use command line:

You'd want to download the GPGTools_Installer-99n.dmg --- it'll install all of the other necessary parts & pieces like the preferences, mail, keychain access, macgpg, etc.

Great, I have done this and seem to get the hang of GPGtools, what is my next step with tails, do I burn the GPG file on to same DVD as tails?

I am very new and I do not understand.  Why do I need this for my Imac?  Explain to me like I was five, what do I need this for and how do I use it? 

I feel like I am in a cave and only see shadows on the walls from the light outside.  I am beginning to understand who TOR works, what about this PGP thing and what does it do for me?

Forgive my ignorance here.

As someone who's only recently joined SR I wouldn't be able to explain as good as other members so I'll let them chip in on that one!

I have just looked more into my problem about GPGtools on tails and I dont think you can use GPG on tails. So is Tor and GPG enough on a USB to be safe buying and selling on SR without Liberte or Tails???
