Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Install Required Packages

To install Teampass, we need to install some required packages first. Open the terminal application and run the following command to update the package list:

sudo swupd update

After the update is complete, run the following command to install the required packages:

sudo swupd bundle-add php-basic php-mysqli php-json php-curl php-gd php-zip unzip git

The command will install PHP and some required extensions for Teampass.

Step 2: Download and Extract Teampass

Next, we need to download and extract Teampass. Run the following command to download Teampass from its official website:

wget https://github.com/nilsteampassnet/TeamPass/archive/master.zip

After the download is complete, extract the downloaded file using the following command:

unzip master.zip

The command will extract Teampass to a new directory named TeamPass-master.

Step 3: Configure Teampass

Before we can use Teampass, we need to configure it by creating a new MySQL database and user. For this, we will use the mysql command-line tool.

To access the mysql tool, run the following command:

sudo mysql

To create a new database, run the following command:

CREATE DATABASE teampass;

After the database is created, create a new user and grant it the necessary permissions with the following commands:

CREATE USER teampass_user@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password_here';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON teampass.* TO teampass_user@localhost;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace your_password_here with your own password.

Next, access the Teampass configuration file by running the following command:

nano TeamPass-master/includes/settings.php

In the file, edit the following lines to match your MySQL settings:

define('TP_DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('TP_DB_NAME', 'teampass');
define('TP_DB_USER', 'teampass_user');
define('TP_DB_PASS', 'your_password_here');

Save and exit the file.

Step 4: Start Teampass

Finally, we can start Teampass by running the following command in the TeamPass-master directory:

php -S localhost:8000 -t .

The command will start a PHP web server on port 8000. Open a web browser and go to the following URL:

http://localhost:8000

You should see the Teampass login page. Use the default username admin and password admin to login. You should change the password after logging in.
