Vault Keeper 1.0 - Installation Instructions

To run Vault Keeper, you will need a Java Virtual Machine version 1.4 or above. If you don't have one, you can get it at Sun's Java web site

To install VaultKeeper follow these steps:
  • Download the application here
  • Unzip the downloaded file into the directory you want it installed

The application does not create shortcuts in the desktop or start menu. If you want them, you will have to create them yourself

When the application is run for the first time, it creates a folder inside the user's home folder. In this folder, the application will store configuration data and the encripted files. By default, this folder is called .vault

To uninstall, just remove the folder where you unzipped the downloaded file. You may also remove the configuration data stored in the user's home folder plus the encripted files.

You may try different ways to run the program. In some computers it is enough to just double click the file vault.jar, located in the installation root folter. If that doesn't work, and only for Windows platforms, you may try to double click on the file run.bat, located in the installation root folder as well. This file requires the JAVA_HOME environment variable to be properly set. If this didn't work either, your only chance is to open a shell window, i.e. DOS. The command line to run the program is: java -jar vault.jar
