Open Settings, “Security & Privacy”, and the General tab.The workaround is to manually force the user approval request to appear: Unfortunately, this does not always happen automatically for TrueCrypt. Usually, the user is prompted to open the “Security & Privacy” settings to allow the blocked software in question to load. Beginning with macOS 10.13 High Sierra, macOS requires the user’s approval before loading newly-installed third-party kernel extensions (including third-party file systems). OSXFUSE (currently known as “FUSE for macOS”) extends macOS’s native file handling capabilities via third-party file systems, such as Truecrypt. When attempting to mount a file or volume for the first time, Truecrypt will fail with an error, “the OSXFUSE file system is not available”. Run the modified “TrueCrypt 7.1a.mpkg” and the installation should proceed without a version error. Edit the “distribution.dist” file and remove the contents of the “pm_install_check” function (lines 13 thru 18):.Right-click on the copied file and select “Show Package Contents”.Copy the “TrueCrypt 7.1a.mpkg” file to your desktop (or other folder).Open the “TrueCrypt 7.1a Mac OS X.dmg” image.The workaround is to remove that version check: The cause is a version check that no longer works starting with Yosemite. When attempting to install TrueCrypt 7.1a on macOS 10.10 Yosemite and later versions (including macOS 10.14 Mojave), the installer will fail with an error message, “TrueCrypt requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later”. Update: Check out my post on how to Migrate TrueCrypt to VeraCrypt on macOS. Note: Truecrypt 7.1a is the last version to support the write function Truecrypt 7.2 is read-only. While Truecrypt 7.1a works without any issues on Windows 10, it has two issues on macOS 10.14 Mojave. Even though development on TrueCrypt has ended, I still use it on both Windows and macOS computers.
