How to install Password Pusher on Manjaro

Password Pusher is a free and open-source tool that allows you to securely share passwords and other sensitive information with others. It is a web-based application that can be accessed from any device with an internet connection. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Password Pusher on a Manjaro system.

Prerequisites

Before you start with the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

A Manjaro system with root access
A web server (Apache or Nginx)
PHP version 5.5 or later
Composer (for managing dependencies)

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The first step is to install the dependencies required by Password Pusher. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo pacman -S php php-cgi sqlite

Once the installation is complete, verify the PHP version using the following command:

php -v

You should see output similar to the following:

PHP 7.3.24 (cli) (built: Sep 29 2020 08:05:49) ( NTS )

Step 2: Install Git

Next, you need to install Git, a version control system used to download Password Pusher from the GitHub repository. Run the following command in the terminal:

sudo pacman -S git

Step 3: Download Password Pusher

Once Git is installed, use it to clone the Password Pusher repository using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/pglombardo/PasswordPusher.git

This will create a new directory PasswordPusher in your current working directory.

Step 4: Install Composer

Password Pusher uses Composer, a dependency manager for PHP, to manage its dependencies. To install Composer, run the following command:

sudo pacman -S composer

Once the installation is complete, run the following command in the PasswordPusher directory to install the required dependencies:

composer update

Step 5: Configure the Database

Password Pusher uses SQLite as its database. Use the following command to create a new database file:

touch PasswordPusher/Database/database.sqlite

Next, create the required tables by running the following command:

php PasswordPusher/Models/CreateDatabase.php

Step 6: Configure the Web Server

Finally, you need to configure your web server to serve Password Pusher. Create a new virtual host configuration file for your web server. For example, if you're using Apache, run the following command:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following lines to the configuration file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName your_domain.com
    DocumentRoot /path/to/PasswordPusher
    <Directory /path/to/PasswordPusher/>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
                RewriteEngine On
                RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
                RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
            </IfModule>
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Replace your_domain.com with your domain name and path/to/PasswordPusher with the actual path to the PasswordPusher directory. Save the configuration file and restart your web server.

Step 7: Access Password Pusher

You can now access Password Pusher by going to your domain name in your web browser. For example, http://your_domain.com/. You will be prompted to create an account and set a master password.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Password Pusher on your Manjaro system. You can now use it to securely share passwords and other sensitive information with others.
