In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MYKI Password Manager on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. For those of you who didn’t know, MYKI is a free and cross-platform password manager and authenticator that is used to securely store and manage your password locally across multiple devices.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you through the step-by-step installation of the MYKI Password Manager on Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa).
