<h2><a name="install-as-packages"></a>Install as packages</h2>

<p>This is the recommended method of installing Bitmask. If installed as a package, Bitmask will run faster, be better integrated in the system, and will be kept up to date.</p>

<h3><a name="debian-70-wheezy"></a>Debian 7.0 (Wheezy)</h3>

<p>For wheezy, you must have <code>wheezy-backports</code> enabled as a software source in <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code>. If you don&rsquo;t have backports enabled, you can add it like so:</p>

<pre><code>sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-backports main'
</code></pre>

<p>For instructions on adding backports via a user interface, see the <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/Backports">Debian backports page</a>.</p>

<h2><a name="install-stand-alone-bundle"></a>Install stand-alone bundle</h2>

<p>Alternately, you can run Bitmask from a stand alone bundle. This is useful if want to run Bitmask from a thumb drive. The bundle should work on most recent Linux distributions that are derived from Debian (e.g. Ubuntu, Mint, etc).</p>

<p>There are several disadvantages to the stand-alone bundle:</p>

<ul>
<li>Installing via the bundle takes up more space.</li>
<li>The Bitmask app will be less well integrated with the desktop environment.</li>
<li>Running from the bundle is slower to start than via packages.</li>
<li>You will not get automatic updates running the stand alone bundle.</li>
</ul>


<p>How do you tell if you running a 32 bit or 64 bit kernel? Run the following command:</p>

<pre><code>uname -m
</code></pre>

<p>If the result is:</p>

<ul>
<li><code>x86_64</code>, you have <strong>64 bit</strong></li>
<li><code>i686</code>, you have <strong>32 bit</strong></li>
<li><code>i386</code>, you have <strong>32 bit</strong></li>
</ul>


<h3><a name="32-bit-kernel"></a>32 bit kernel</h3>

  <i class='fa fa-cloud-download fa-lg'></i>

</a>
</p>

<h3><a name="other-options"></a>Other options</h3>

<p>If you want to install an old or development version of Bitmask, you can <a href="/client/linux/">browse all releases.</a></p>

<p><h2><a name="configuring-email"></a>Configuring email</h2>

<p>To get encrypted email to work, you have two options:</p>

<ol>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/bitmask/">Bitmask Thunderbird Extension</a> (recommended)</li>
<li>Manual email client configuration</li>
</ol>


<h4><a name="bitmask-thunderbird-extension"></a>Bitmask Thunderbird Extension</h4>

<ol>
<li>Install Bitmask app and register for an account.</li>
<li>Install the <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/bitmask/">Bitmask Thunderbird Extension</a>.</li>
<li>Select the Thunderbird menu item <code>File</code> > <code>New</code> > <code>Bitmask Account...</code></li>
</ol>


<h4><a name="manual-email-client-configuration"></a>Manual email client configuration</h4>

<ul>
<li>IMAP &ndash; <code>localhost:1984</code>

<ul>
<li>username: the full email address you use with the Bitmask app.</li>
<li>password: ignored, can be anything.</li>
<li>SSL/TLS: off</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>SMTP &ndash; <code>localhost:2013</code>

<ul>
<li>authentication: none</li>
<li>SSL/TLS: off</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>


<p>You should also disable any local caching in your email client, if applicable. All the data stored by Bitmask is kept on disk in an encrypted format, but your mail client might cache your email in clear text, so it is good to disable caching if you can. Also, all your Bitmask email is sync'ed locally anyway, so there is no benefit to local caching.</p>
