Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, KeePassX is an open source application used for password-management, enabling the users to create, store, generate and edit passwords. It encrypts the passwords and databases via the AES or Twofish algorithms, providing security for the user’s passwords. The latest version available is KeePassX 2.0 Alpha 6, which has been recently released.
In this article I will show you how to install KeePassX 2.0 Alpha 6 on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander, Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Linux Mint 16 Petra, Linux Mint 13 Maya, Pinguy OS 14.o4, Pinguy OS 12.04, Elementary OS 0.3 Isis and Elementary OS 0.2 Luna.
Because it is available via PPA, installing KeePassX 2.0 Alpha 6 on the listed Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pinguy OS and Elementary OS systems is easy. All you have to do is add the ppa to your system, update the local repository index and install the keepassx package. Like this:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:keepassx/daily
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install keepassx
Optional, to remove keepassx, do:
$ sudo apt-get remove keepassx
