TrueCrypt 7.1a installation on Mac Yosemite

TrueCrypt is a full drive encryption software that is totally cross platform and i love it. Since i updated to Mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite) that last version of Truecrypt (7.1a) wouldn’t install. If you are suffering from the same issue here’s all you need to do:

  1. Open the TrueCrypt mpkg package contents, then open the Contents folder.

  2. Open distribution.dist with a text editor.

  3. Remove lines 13 to 18.

  4. Save the file and open the mpkg normally.

Note 1: It basically checks to see if your OS is 10.4 or higher and as 10.1 is lower it fails.
Note 2: If you are going to ask what TrueCrypt is then you should move along, nothing to see here.
