Using Keepass in Fedora 15

12/03/2011 by doncicuto

KeePass is a great open source password manager with many features (passwords are stored in an encrypted database, strong password generator…). which I’ve been using since 2006 in my Windows machine.

Now I want to use it in my Fedora 15 and thanks to Mono you can run it on Linux machines following these instructions. Anyway, these are the steps for Fedora 15:

Download the portable version of KeePass and unzip it into a folder.
Install Mono and Xdotool packages:
yum install mono-addins mono-core mono-data mono-data-sqlite mono-extras mono-mvc mono-wcf mono-web mono-winforms mono-winfx libxdo xdotool
Go to the KeePass folder and from the command-line execute: mono KeePass.exe
That’s all folks!

UPDATE: Thank you B!n@ry for your comment. You can use KeePassX: yum install keepassx

  Hi,
  thanks a lot for your comment. I wasn’t aware of the KeePassX project (http://www.keepassx.org/) so I’ll take a look at it.
