sysPass is a password manager and information database that allows you to securely store and manage sensitive information. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps required to install sysPass on Arch Linux.
Before installing the sysPass package, you must first ensure that you have all the dependencies required to run it.
To install these dependencies, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S apache mariadb php php-apache php-gd php-intl php-ldap php-mbstring php-sodium php-sqlite php-zip
This command installs the Apache web server, the MariaDB database server, and the PHP programming language, and its associated packages.
To install the sysPass package on your Arch Linux machine, you must first download it from the official sysPass website.
Download the latest copy of sysPass by going to https://www.syspass.org/, clicking on the "Download" button, and selecting "Arch Linux" from the dropdown menu.
Once you have downloaded the package, extract it to your Arch Linux machine, and navigate to the extracted directory in your terminal.
In the terminal window, run the following command to install sysPass:
makepkg -si
This command will install the sysPass package on your Arch Linux machine.
Now that sysPass is installed on your machine, you must configure it before you can use it.
Before proceeding, ensure that the Apache and MariaDB services are running on your machine.
To configure sysPass, navigate to the following directory in your terminal:
cd /etc/webapps/syspass
Next, copy the sample configuration file to the configuration directory by running the following command:
cp config.inc.php.dist config.inc.php
Now, open the configuration file in your preferred editor and make any necessary modifications.
After editing the configuration file, save your changes, and exit the editor.
After configuring sysPass, you must start the service to begin using it.
To start the sysPass service, run the following command in your terminal:
systemctl start httpd mariadb syspass
This command will start the Apache and MariaDB services, as well as the sysPass service.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed sysPass on your Arch Linux machine.
Now you can securely store and manage your sensitive information using sysPass.
