To get KeePass 2.x working, you can:
- read the documentation:
You'll need to get the latest portable zip Keepass release from (2.10 at the time of this writting):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/keepass/files/
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/keepass/KeePass%202.x/2.10/KeePass-2.10.zip?use_mirror=freefr
Instructions to set up keepass from the keepass website
- Or follow this simple steps:
Pay attention to the following commands, where it says userName you will have to type a user name from your own machine.
-Get an compressed copy of the portable Keepass file,
mkdir /home/userName/KeePass
cd /home/userName/KeePass
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/keepass/KeePass%202.x/2.10/KeePass-2.10.zip?use_mirror=freefr
unzip KeePass-2.10.zip
mv KeePass-2.10.zip /usr/local/src
-Change the permissions to all uncompressed files so that they belong to the user you are going to use it with.
chown -R userName:userName /home/userName/KeePass
-Create a launcher file (I.e. in your desktop) with the following command:
echo "mono /home/userName/KeePass/KeePass.exe" > /home/userName/Desktop/KeePass
chown userName:userName /home/userName/Desktop/KeePass
-Make the file executable:
chmod a+x /home/userName/Desktop/KeePass
-Execute your new KeePass:
/home/userName/Desktop/KeePass
You can also create a launcher from the menu very easily.
If you ever want to get rid of this software, simply delete /home/userName/Desktop/KeePass and /home/userName/KeePass
