Confused about how to install portwarden #25

Closed zadrafi closed 4 years ago

zadrafi commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I installed the BW cli and that was pretty smooth but pretty confused about how to install portwarden. I use a mac

vwxyzjn commented 4 years ago

Hi, open a terminal in the folder where you downloaded the executable, and then run

./portwarden

Appreciate the quick response! Still a bit confused about which part of the release I should download? Was looking for macOS but only see versions for linux and windows. Excuse the ignorance (not used to doing stuff like this)

vwxyzjn commented 4 years ago

No problem at all. I believe you are looking for keyword darwin.

Thanks, I wonder if I'm missing something? did what you asked, downloaded portwarden_darwin_amd64 and then set the terminal to my downloads folder and ran ./portwarden but keep encountering "./portwarden: command not found"

vwxyzjn commented 4 years ago

Change the file name from portwarden_darwin_amd64 to portwarden :). Let me know if it works

Yep did that and still encountering the same error in the terminal. Do I need to have any other components installed? I use homebrew

vwxyzjn commented 4 years ago

You shouldn’t need anything else. Perhaps you could record a gif of what you are doing? And it would be helpful if you can show me your error. A screenshot.

Ah Okay. I figured it out. It was saved as a .txt file but needed to be opened with a terminal and registered as a terminal file. Following steps worked for me

1

Go to your Terminal or iTerm.

Change to directory where your file is located.

Type the following:

chmod a+x (portwarden)

Right click on your file and select Open with and Other.

Enable All Applications and choose Terminal.

NOTE: If you always want to open that file with Terminal, then check Always Open With.

Finally, double click on your file and it should work.
vwxyzjn commented 4 years ago

Oh sorry I forgot to remind you that you should do

chmod +x ./portwarden

Could you successfully create a backup?

currently running ./portwarden --passphrase 1234 --filename backup.portwarden encrypt though it seems to be taking a while to give me the email and password prompt

zadrafi commented 4 years ago

ah okay looks like it worked! I just logged out of the bw CLI and didn't log back in and started portwarden which finally gave me the promot

zadrafi commented 4 years ago

vwxyzjn commented 4 years ago
