Step 2: Install the required dependencies

Now that you have cloned the KeeWeb repository, navigate to the cloned directory and install the required dependencies using the following command:

cd keeweb
npm install

This will install all the necessary packages and dependencies required to run KeeWeb.

Step 3: Build KeeWeb

The next step is to build KeeWeb using the following command:

This will start a local development server for KeeWeb, which you can access at http://localhost:8080.

Step 5: Create a desktop shortcut

To easily access KeeWeb, you can create a desktop shortcut. Create a new file with the .desktop extension, for example, keeweb.desktop, and add the following content to it:
