How to Install KeePass on M1 Mac

KeePass is good at syncing (via FTP or DAV). I missed that functionality on Windows.

Here's how I install and use KeePass on MacOS:

## Install wine-crossover

```bash

brew tap gcenx/wine

brew install --cask --no-quarantine wine-crossover

```

## Install winetricks

```bash

brew install winetricks

```

## Install .NET

```bash

winetricks -q dotnet472

```

## Install mono

1. Download [wine-mono.msi](http://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-mono) from the official winehq site.

1. Run `wine64 uninstaller`

1. A window should popup. Inside the window choose the `mono.msi` file you just downloaded, and then click `install`

## Install clipboard dependences

```bash

brew install xsel

brew install xdotool

```

## Install KeePass.zip

Please download the exact KeePass version that you used on Windows. Or you may encounter the error `keepass failed to load the specified file the master key is invalid` when opening the old kdbx file with the correct password.

1. Unzip `KeePass.zip` and move the folder to `/Applications/`.

## Use KeePass

1. On `/Applications/KeePass_folder_xxx/KeePass.exe` -> Right click -> Open With -> Wine Crossover.

1. Choose a kdbx file and you are good to go.

## Done


## P.S.

If it's still not working when you done all the steps above:

I also have monoFramework.universal.pkg and `brew install wine-stable` installed.
