PassCheck is a password strength checker tool, and in this guide, we will walk you through the steps of installing PassCheck on Void Linux.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
It is always a good practice to update your system packages before installing any new package to ensure you have the latest dependencies.
Run the following command to update your system packages:
sudo xbps-install -Suy
The command will prompt for your password. Enter your password and hit Enter.
Git is a necessary tool for cloning PassCheck from its repository.
To install Git on Void Linux, run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -y git
After installing Git, clone the PassCheck repository by running the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/AnhurIoT/PassCheck.git
This command will create a directory named PassCheck in your current working directory, with all the necessary files.
PassCheck requires the Rust programming language to be installed on your system. Install Rust by running the following command:
sudo xbps-install -y rust
Navigate to the cloned PassCheck directory using the following command:
cd PassCheck
Now compile and install PassCheck by running the following command:
cargo install --path .
You have successfully installed PassCheck on Void Linux. To run the PassCheck program, execute the following command in your terminal:
passcheck
PassCheck is now ready to use, and you can test password strengths by entering passwords and pressing Enter.
That is it! We have successfully installed PassCheck on Void Linux. You can now test your password strengths and ensure that your passwords meet security requirements.
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!
