⚠️The Tails Project⚠️ Follow the instructions you find here.

One thing you should know about tails is that it defaults to the user, amnesia. This particular user is not a member of sudo, so it is not allowed to execute tasks that require administrative permission. You can get around that during the startup. Click Additional settings at the Tails Greeter and then click Administration password. Type and verify the new administrator password and click Add.

Once you startup Tails, click on (Applications) in top left-hand corner of the desktop, move pointer to (Tails) then click (Persistent Storage).

The user has to set a passphrase there, and create persistent storage. After the persistent storage is created, there are toggles to select which applications you want to persist after reboot.

Install Retoswap on Tails

First of all you need to activate Persistent Storage on Tails :

https://tails.net/doc/persistent_storage/create/index.en.html

Once done, go to
https://retoswap.com/#download
and download the Retoswap's public key.
Import it in Kleopatra or any certificate manager you have.

Open a terminal and paste this command :

curl -fsSLO https://github.com/retoaccess1/haveno-reto/raw/master/scripts/install_tails/haveno-install.sh && bash haveno-install.sh https://github.com/retoaccess1/haveno-reto/releases/download/v1.0.18/haveno-linux-deb.zip DAA24D878B8D36C90120A897CA02DAC12DAE2D0F

You can find this command on
https://github.com/retoaccess1/haveno-reto/tree/master/scripts/install_tails

First part of the code is the installation process.

The second part is the version you want to download and the fingerprint of the Retoswap's public key to verify the authenticity of the files.
This code will download the v1.0.18 release in /home/Persistent.

To choose your version :
-Go to
https://github.com/retoaccess1/haveno-reto/releases/
-Find the latest version released.
-In "Assets" section copy the link of "haveno-linux-deb.zip"
-Past it after the command curl -fsSLO [...] && bash haveno-install.sh
-Don't forget to also add the fingerprint of Retoswap's public key in the command
-Press enter and wait for the download to complete.

Once done, you can open "Haveno" from Applications -> Other, create an account and start buying/selling XMR :)
