Major points :
the program to call is aescrypt-gui and that it must be called via the context-menu of a file manager application like Nautilus, Dolphin, Thunar and the like.
Once extracted, make it executable :
chmod +x AESCrypt-GUI-3.11-Linux-x86-Install
Then, click on it, and follow instructions to set it up (just as easy as installing a Windows executable).
Once it is installed, you can do a test :
cat> test.txt
Via the context menu, open with : aescrypt-gui.
A window appears. You enter your password and repeat.
Look for test.txt.aes
To decrypt your file, repeat action above, via the context menu
Using cli, you would do :
aescrypt -e -p 123 test.txt
Remember that you can use history to see past command lines, so it not secure to write -p 123 (as your password), but if you encrypt a file to send it to an email address, it does not matter.
