Once Snap is enabled, run sudo snap install keepassxc to install KeePassXC.Ĭongratulations! You should now have the newest version of KeePassXC installed and ready to generate and manage your passwords for you. If you are new to Snap and you’re running an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution, you can run sudo apt install snapd to enable Snap (for other distributions follow these instructions from ‘ It’s FOSS’). If you are installing it, I highly recommend using the provided Snap package ( more information).If you simply want to try KeePassXC and are not committed to it enough to install it, the AppImage is a great option ( more information on AppImages and how to use them).While you can use any one of the popular package managers, AppImage and Snap variations are available, so: Update: I’m now using KeePassX which is a native port of KeePass for Linux and Mac OS.Downloading KeePassXC is easy enough, simply visit the download page and choose your preferred installation method.

If you don’t know the codename of the Linux version find it out with: lsb_release -a Where precise is the codename of the Ubuntu version (here 12.04 Precise Pangolin). For example, in Ubuntu: sudo add-apt-repository 'deb precise main' So here is the procedure to overcome this problem.įirst, add the KeePass repository. I’m currently using KeePass2 ( update: I now use KeePassX) However, I noticed that if you install KeePass via the Ubuntu Software Center you won’t necessarily install the latest version and you won’t get the latest updates automatically. Considering the amount of passwords one has to remember these days, there is a bad tendency to use weak memorable passwords – or even worse always the same password! KeePass is good choice since it is cross-platform, uses strong encryption algorithms, and can store data offline. All you need to do is to remember one single (strong) password to open the software and that’s it. It is a password manager which allows to store secure passwords and forget about them.
