How to Install Teampass on macOS

Teampass is a free and open source password manager that allows teams to securely store and share passwords. Here are the steps to install Teampass on macOS:

Step 1: Install Homebrew

Homebrew is a package manager for macOS. You can install it by opening the terminal and running the following command:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Step 2: Install PHP and MySQL

Teampass requires PHP and MySQL to be installed on your system. You can install them using Homebrew by running the following commands:

brew install php
brew install mysql

Step 3: Install Teampass

You can download Teampass from the official website at https://teampass.net/. Once downloaded, extract the contents to a folder of your choice.

Step 4: Configure MySQL

You need to create a MySQL database for Teampass to use. Open the terminal and log in to MySQL by running the following command:

mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL root password when prompted. Then create a new database and user with the following commands:

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

Replace 'password' with a strong password of your choice.

Step 5: Configure Teampass

Open the folder where you extracted Teampass and navigate to the install folder. Open the config.php file in a text editor and update the following settings:

$CFG_GL_OG_REALM = 'yourdomain.com';
$CFG_GL_DB_SERVER = 'localhost';
$CFG_GL_DB_BASENAME = 'teampass';
$CFG_GL_DB_LOGIN = 'teampass';
$CFG_GL_DB_PWD = 'password';

Replace 'yourdomain.com' with your domain name, and 'password' with the password you created for the MySQL user.

Save the config.php file and close it.

Step 6: Install Teampass

Open the terminal and navigate to the Teampass folder. Run the following command:

php-cli index.php install

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Step 7: Run Teampass

After installation, you can run Teampass by navigating to the www folder in the Teampass folder and running the following command:

php -S localhost:8080

Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 to access Teampass.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Teampass on macOS.
