How to install Teampass on Elementary OS Latest

Teampass is a web-based password manager designed to help teams securely store passwords and other sensitive information. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Teampass on Elementary OS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you will need the following:

  • A user account with sudo privileges
  • Apache web server installed and configured
  • PHP installed and configured
  • MySQL or MariaDB database installed and configured

Step 1: Install necessary packages

Open the terminal and update the package list by running the following command:

sudo apt update

Next, install the necessary packages by running the following command:

sudo apt install git unzip

Step 2: Download Teampass

Download the latest version of Teampass from the official website (https://teampass.net/). Once the download is complete, extract the contents to the root directory of your Apache web server, which is /var/www/html by default.

sudo unzip teampass_latest_version.zip -d /var/www/html/

Step 3: Set permissions

To ensure that Teampass can read and write files correctly within the /var/www/html/teampass/ directory, we need to set ownership for the Apache user:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/teampass/

Step 4: Create a MySQL/MariaDB database

Create a new MySQL/MariaDB database and user for Teampass:

CREATE DATABASE teampass;
CREATE USER 'teampassuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON teampass.* TO 'teampassuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace the database name, username, and password with your desired values.

Step 5: Configure Teampass

In the web browser, navigate to http://localhost/teampass/config/install/install.php, and follow the installation wizard to configure Teampass.

During installation, enter the MySQL/MariaDB database details you created in step 4.

Step 6: Finalize installation

Once Teampass is installed successfully, delete the /install/ directory via the command:

sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/teampass/install/
