A web search turns up a ton of articles Mint and Veracrypt.

My own inclination would be to install the most recent stable release.

The best idea is to run the latest version possible. That being said, you probably want to install it as a dpkg (.deb). I build a Debian-10 based version of VeraCrypt in my OBS (roughly similar to a PPA like for Ubuntu). Can you see if it installs in Mint? https://software.opensuse.org//downl...kage=veracrypt
