Padloc is a lightweight, open-source password manager that can be used to manage your passwords and keep them secure. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Padloc on Void Linux.
Before you begin the installation process, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, we need to install some packages required for Padloc to work properly. Use the following command to install the packages:
sudo xbps-install -S qt5-base qt5-tools qt5-webengine cmake git
Now, we will download Padloc from its GitHub repository using the git command. Use the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Anondson/Padloc.git
In this step, we will build Padloc from the source code that we have just downloaded. Change the directory to the cloned repository using the following command:
cd Padloc
Now, make a build directory and change the directory to the new build directory using the following commands:
mkdir build
cd build
Now, run the cmake command to generate the makefiles using the following command:
cmake ..
Finally, run the make command to build Padloc using the following command:
make
Now, install Padloc on your system using the following command:
sudo make install
Finally, test Padloc by running it on your system using the following command:
padloc
This will open Padloc's main window, indicating that it is properly installed and working.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Padloc on Void Linux from source. Now that Padloc is installed and working on your system, you can use it to manage your passwords and keep them secure.
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!
