How to Install POMjs on Elementary OS

POMjs is an open-source encryption tool that provides secure password management. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing POMjs on Elementary OS.

Prerequisites

Before we start, please make sure that you have the following:

• A computer or laptop running Elementary OS Latest
• Terminal application
• Internet connection

Installation Steps

1. Open the Terminal application by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T.

2. Type the following command to update your package list:

   sudo apt update
   

   Press Enter and enter your password when prompted.

3. Next, install the required packages by entering the following command:

   sudo apt install nodejs npm
   

   Press Enter, and again, enter your password when prompted.

4. Now, we will download POMjs from the official website. To download the installation file, type the following command:

   wget https://password.oppetmoln.se/latest?arch=x64 -O pomjs.tar.gz
   

   This command will download the latest version of POMjs in compressed format and save it as pomjs.tar.gz.

5. Extract the archive by entering the following command:

   tar -xvf pomjs.tar.gz
   

6. Before we proceed further, ensure that you have the latest version of NPM installed. Enter the following command to update your NPM:

   sudo npm install -g npm@latest
   

7. Change the directory to the extracted POMjs package by entering the following command:

   cd POMjs-*
   

8. Install required dependencies by entering the following command:

   npm install --production
   

9. POMjs is ready to run on your system. To start the server, enter the following command:

   npm start
   

   The server will start and will be available on the address http://localhost:8080. You can now visit this address via your browser to access POMjs.

10. Lastly, to ensure that POMjs runs at startup and remains running in the background, you can use a process manager such as pm2. Install it by entering the following command:

    sudo npm install -g pm2
    

    Then enter the following command to start POMjs with pm2:

    pm2 start npm -- start
    

    This command will start POMjs as a background service that runs on startup.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed POMjs on Elementary OS with the latest version. You can now access POMjs from your browser anytime.
