How do I install BC Vault Application in Linux?

Modified on Wed, 21 Feb 2024 at 11:00 AM

BC Vault Desktop Application for Linux is available in the form of an executable installer and compressed in .tar.gz archive file (to preserve executable flags and create a smaller file). This is the most common form of file distribution in *NIX space. 

If you do not know how to proceed, please follow these steps:


  1. Download the latest .tar.gz file from here.
  2. Open a terminal and go to the directory where you downloaded the file to (for example: "cd /home/user/Downloads/").
  3. Extract the file archive with the command "tar zxvf setup_x.x.x.tar.gz" (use the actual downloaded filename not x.x.x).
  4. Execute the installer with the command "./BCVaultSetup"


On newer Linux distributions you might have to install the libfuse2 library for the application to work (RPM based Linux "yum install fuse-libs" or Debian based Linux "apt install fuse").


Some Linux distributions (as Zorin OS 17) require you to install the libxcb-xinerama0 library for the application to work use following command "apt install libxcb-xinerama0").


There are many different Linux distributions out there and they are changing rapidly. If you encounter trouble running the installer please contact us and tell us the name and version of your particular Linux distribution and we will help you to solve the problem!
