Veracrypt installation on Puppy ?

Hello
I managed to install Veracrypt 1.25.9 on puppy linux BookwormPup64 10.0.7 last time
but the newest version 1.25.14 requires actions that I am not sure how to run
Requirements for Running VeraCrypt:
-----------------------------------
- FUSE library and tools
- device mapper tools
- PC/SC Lite (optional)
Moreover.
This very tiny software could be very useful IF installed on Puppy straight of out the box on Puppy 10.0.8 for instance
Can anyone help me with the lines to run on the terminal about the above requirements please ?
thanks

To try it out I used veracrypt-1.26.14-setup.tar.bz2 as the version to set up.
I am testing first on a KLV-Boxer and the install went smooth and veracrypt
started right up.
I will have to install a BookwormPup next to try it there. Perhaps the generic version I used might be perhaps better than the .deb
package versions to get running.

@dan1111 It looks like if you click the Install VeraCrypt
button that it will proceed to install it.
I did that then updated the system's menus and then clicking the menu selection the program ran like in the screenshot I posted.
Seem like you've almost completed the install!

Thanks
I have asked the dev of Veracrypt for clearing the issue since this seems to occur on other Linux Distros as well
