PassIt is a password manager that allows you to securely store your usernames, passwords, and other sensitive information. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install PassIt on MXLinux Latest.
Before you start installing PassIt on your MXLinux Latest, it's essential to ensure that your system is up to date. To do this, open the Terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Enter your password to confirm the process. This may take some time, depending on your internet speed.
PassIt is built on Python, which means that you need to install some dependencies before installing PassIt. Run the following command to install the necessary dependencies:
sudo apt install python3-dev python3-pip python3-venv make gcc libssl-dev libffi-dev zlib1g-dev
Press "Y" to confirm the installation.
After installing the dependencies, go to the official PassIt website, https://passit.io/ and download the latest version of PassIt. Alternatively, you can run the following command in your Terminal:
sudo git clone https://github.com/passit/passit.git
Next, create a Python Virtual Environment. This will allow you to install PassIt and its dependencies within its environment. Run the following command:
python3 -m venv ~/passit-venv
Activate the virtual environment by running the following command:
source ~/passit-venv/bin/activate
You will notice that the command line will change, showing you that you are now in the PassIt virtual environment.
Within the virtual environment, install PassIt and its requirements by running the following command:
pip install -r passit/requirements.txt
PassIt is now installed on your MXLinux Latest. To run PassIt, run the following command:
python3 passit/manage.py runserver
You will see an output in your Terminal informing you that the PassIt server is running on a particular IP address and port.
Open your web browser and go to the IP address and port number shown in the Terminal. PassIt should be now accessible on your MXLinux Latest.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed PassIt on your MXLinux Latest.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
