Perhaps a web based solution would be easier to adopt in this case?

Some examples:
https://privacybox.de/index.en.html
https://crypto.cat/

You could access these services using Tor browser bundle 
(https://torproject.org) to further hide your identity from 3rd parties.
I don't trust the above solutions as much as GNUPG but depending on the 
type of information you are exchanging with your friend, they may be 
sufficient.
