How to Install Vaults on EndeavourOS

In this tutorial, we will be installing Vaults on EndeavourOS, which is a web-based password manager that enables you to store all your passwords and sensitive data in a secure vault.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:

Step 1: Install Git and Node.js

To begin, open up a terminal window and install the Git and Node.js packages by running the following commands:

sudo pacman -S git
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm

Step 2: Clone the Vaults Repository

Next, clone the Vaults repository from GitHub by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/MatrixEternal/vaults.git

This will create a new directory called "vaults" in your current working directory.

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Navigate into the "vaults" directory by running the following command:

cd vaults

Once inside the directory, install the project dependencies by running the following command:

npm install

This will download and install all of the required packages needed to run Vaults.

Step 4: Configure the Environment

Vaults requires a configuration file to run properly. We will create a sample configuration file by running the following command:

cp .env.example .env

Next, open the newly created ".env" file in a text editor and fill in the required information according to your needs. Be sure to provide secure values for the APP_KEY, DB_USERNAME, and DB_PASSWORD fields.

Step 5: Run the Application

Once you have completed configuring the environment, you can run the application by executing the following command:

npm start

This will start the application and make it available at http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Vaults on EndeavourOS. You may now use it to securely store all your passwords and sensitive data. Be sure to keep the application up-to-date by checking for updates regularly.
