Installation aborted because /media/amnesia did not exist #4

When I executed the appimage, I got an error because /media/amnesia did not exist. I am not sure why. I am using a TAILS USB that has a persistent volume, although I did not unlock the persistent volume this time (as per the README). I did sudo mkdir /media/amnesia and re-ran the appimage and it worked fine. So, maybe throw an if-statement in there and create the directory if it doesn't already exist?

Thank you.

A (bad) assumption had been made that the user would have mounted something before running HiddenVM (and thus /media/amnesia/ would already exist). But obviously that's not always the case. This is now fixed in v1.2.5.
