Open the file named INSTALL.

Building:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake [CMAKE PARAMETERS] ..
make [-jX]

Common cmake parameters:

-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
-DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<RelWithDebInfo/Debug/Release>
-DWITH_GUI_TESTS=ON

Installing:

make install [DESTDIR=X]

Create a bundle on Mac:
make package

Run tests:

make test [CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE=1] [ARGS+=-jX] [ARGS+=“-E testgui”]

OS specific instructions:

The README.md says qt4 is required. It would take too long to figure out that part of it.

Do you have to compile it? you can use ‘dnf install keepass’.

[joebeasley3]

dnf install keepass

Safety suggestion: Do not build as root. Use regular account. Only the “make install” to /usr/local requires elevated privileges. Preferably install to location, where you can write to as regular user.
