Newbie here. I am running OSX Sierra on an iMac. Apparently I need to install soemthing called OSXFUSE to run VeraCrypt. So two newsbie questions please if anyone can advise?
1 - Is this correct, and do I install it before or after I imstall VeraCrypt? any specific settings required?
2 - Where do i get OSXFUSE from? And know its the right versions?

Many thanks in advance

  Yes, you need to install OSXFuse before installing VeraCrypt. VeraCrypt
  installer will complain if it can not find OSXFuse on the machine.
  
  You can get OSXFuse from its official website at
  https://osxfuse.github.io/. The latest version 3.8.2 is know to work
  with VeraCrypt. There is no specific setting required for it to work.

Thank you. The install screen as an option to install MacFUSE Compatability Layer or Skip installing (it is set to SKIP installation of this by default) Do I need it or not?
