Install mono:
sudo apt-get install mono-complete -y
Download the zip version of Keepass2. Note it contains .exe file.
Extract it to ~/Keepass
unzip KeePass-2.23.zip -d ~/Keepass
Create a directory ~/Keepass/plugins
mkdir ~/Keepass/plugins
Download the two main plugins for Keepass:
KeePassRPC.plgx is available locally once Keefox for Firefox is installed. Mine was at ~/.mozilla/firefox/fr1soj1q.default/extensions/[email protected]/deps
The location is suggested by Firefox itself on restarting it after installing Keefox.
Copy it to ~/Keepass/plugins
cp /home/joel/.mozilla/firefox/k6jug8be.default/extensions/[email protected]/deps/KeePassRPC.plgx ~/Keepass/plugins/
KeepassHttp.pglx is available at https://raw.github.com/pfn/keepasshttp/master/KeePassHttp.plgx
Copy it to ~/Keepass/plugins
wget https://raw.github.com/pfn/keepasshttp/master/KeePassHttp.plgx mv KeePassHttp.plgx ~/Keepass/plugins/
Now, run Keepass by running:
/usr/bin/mono ~/Keepass/KeePass.exe
For ease of use, create a shortcut in K Menu and add this command there.
It will compile the two plugins and start up. You need to install Chromipass and Keefox for Browser integration
