How to Install sysPass on MXLinux Latest

sysPass is a password manager software that helps individuals and organizations to keep their passwords in a secure place. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install sysPass on MXLinux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start with the installation process, you need to ensure that the following packages are installed on your system:

• Apache Web Server
• PHP
• MySQL Database

Step 1: Download sysPass

The first step is to download sysPass from the official website at https://www.syspass.org/. Click on the "Download" button and save the file on your local machine.

Step 2: Extract sysPass

Once the sysPass file is downloaded, you need to extract it to the document root directory of Apache web server. To do that, follow these steps:

1. Open the Terminal
2. Navigate to the location where you saved the sysPass file
3. Use the following command to extract the file:

sudo tar -xvzf sysPass-x.x.x.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/

Note: Replace "x.x.x" with the version number of sysPass that you downloaded.

Step 3: Create Database

Once you have extracted sysPass to the document root directory, you need to create a new database for sysPass to store passwords. Run the following command to create a new database:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL root password when prompted.

CREATE DATABASE syspass;

Step 4: Create User and Grant Privileges

After creating the database, you need to create a new user and grant all privileges to the syspass database. Run the following commands:

CREATE USER 'syspassuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON syspass.* TO 'syspassuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Change "syspassuser" and "password" with your desired username and password.

Step 5: Configure Apache Web Server

Next, you need to configure Apache web server to serve sysPass. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/syspass.conf

Copy and paste the following code to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
ServerName syspass.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/sysPass/public/

<Directory /var/www/html/sysPass/public/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

Replace "admin@example.com" and "syspass.example.com" with your desired email address and domain name.

Save and exit the file, then enable the configuration by running:

sudo a2ensite syspass.conf

Finally, restart Apache web server:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 6: Setup sysPass

Now you can access sysPass using your web browser, by visiting http://syspass.example.com. Replace "syspass.example.com" with the domain name that you configured in the previous step.

You will need to enter your database details and create an administrator account to start using sysPass.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed sysPass on MXLinux Latest.
