KeeWeb is a free and open source password manager that can be used both online and offline. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install KeeWeb on Kali Linux Latest.
Before we start, we need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
Open your web browser and navigate to the official KeeWeb website: keeweb.info/">https://keeweb.info/. Once you are on the website, click on the "Download" button.
After the download completes, extract the downloaded archive. You can do this using the Archive Manager or using the tar
command in the terminal. We will use the tar
command in this tutorial:
tar -xvf keeweb-1.15.7.linux.x64.tar.gz
Note: Make sure to replace the file name with the one you have downloaded.
Next, move the extracted folder to the /opt
directory:
sudo mv keeweb-1.15.7-linux-x64 /opt/keeweb
Note: Replace the folder name with the one you have extracted.
Now, create a desktop shortcut for KeeWeb. Create a new file in your favorite text editor with the following contents:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8

GenericName=Password Manager
Comment=Cross-platform password manager compatible with KeePass
Exec=/opt/keeweb/KeeWeb
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Utility;Security;
Icon=/opt/keeweb/icons/keeweb.png
Save the file as keeweb.desktop
on your desktop.
Make the keeweb.desktop
file executable:
chmod +x ~/Desktop/keeweb.desktop
Double-click on the keeweb.desktop
file on your desktop to launch KeeWeb.
