To install the gpass
password manager on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or CentOS system, you can use the yum
package manager to download and install the package from the official repositories.
sudo yum update
gpass
package by running the following command:sudo yum install gpass
Once the installation is complete, you can launch gpass
from the command line by typing gpass
and pressing Enter. You can also start gpass
from the Applications menu in the GNOME desktop environment.
When you start gpass
for the first time, it will prompt you to create a new password database. Follow the prompts to create the database and set a master password for it.
Once the database is created, you can use gpass
to store and manage your passwords. gpass
provides a simple interface for adding, deleting, and editing password entries, as well as generating secure passwords.
Keep in mind that gpass
is a simple password manager that stores password data in a plain text file. It is not as secure as more advanced password managers that use encryption to protect the data. Consult the documentation and online resources for more information on how to use gpass
and best practices for password management.
