How to Install sysPass on EndeavourOS Latest

In this tutorial, you will learn how to install sysPass, a password manager, on EndeavourOS. sysPass is an open-source and easy-to-deploy system for centralized password management. Here are the steps to follow:

Step 1: Update the System

Before installing any new software, update your system to ensure that you have the latest stable packages.

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2: Install Required Packages

To install sysPass, you need to have a web server, PHP, and MariaDB installed on your system. 

sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache mariadb

After installation, start the services:

sudo systemctl enable httpd mariadb
sudo systemctl start httpd mariadb

Step 3: Install and Configure sysPass

  1. Download the latest version of sysPass from the [official website] (https://www.syspass.org/). Choose the package according to your system architecture.

  2. Extract the downloaded archive in your web server's root directory.

sudo tar xzf sysPass-X.X.X.tar.gz -C /srv/http/

Replace X.X.X with the version number you downloaded.

  1. Grant permissions to the sysPass directory:
sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/sysPass
sudo chmod -R 755 /srv/http/sysPass
  1. Create a new database for sysPass:
sudo mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE syspass;
CREATE USER 'syspass'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password_here';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON syspass.* TO 'syspass'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Replace your_password_here with a strong and secure password.

  1. Rename the sysPass configuration file:
sudo mv /srv/http/sysPass/config/config.php.sample /srv/http/sysPass/config/config.php
  1. Edit the configuration file and enter your database credentials and other settings:
sudo nano /srv/http/sysPass/config/config.php

Follow the instructions in the file and save your changes.

  1. Restart the web server:
sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 4: Access and Use sysPass

sysPass should now be accessible through your web browser at http://localhost/sysPass/. You can log in with the default credentials: 

Username: admin
