revelation Documentation

Some Fossies usage hints in advance:

  1. To see the Doxygen generated documentation please click on one of the items in the steelblue colored "quick index" bar above or use the side panel at the left which displays a hierarchical tree-like index structure and is adjustable in width.
  2. If you want to search for something by keyword rather than browse for it you can use the client side search facility (using Javascript and DHTML) that provides live searching, i.e. the search results are presented and adapted as you type in the Search input field at the top right.
  3. Doxygen doesn't incorporate all member files but just a definable subset (basically the main project source code files that are written in a supported language). So to search and browse all member files you may visit the Fossies revelation-0.5.5.tar.xz contents page and use the Fossies standard member browsing features (also with source code highlighting and additionally with optional code folding).

revelation-logo Revelation

Revelation is a simple password manager for the GNOME 3 desktop, released under the GNU GPL license.

It stores accounts and passwords in a single, secure place, and gives access to them through a user-friendly graphical interface.

The project website is located at https://revelation.olasagasti.info.

Install

  • Fedora
dnf install revelation
  • Flatpak
flatpak install flathub info.olasagasti.revelation

Build

Revelation depends on the following software:

  • GTK3-3.22
  • PyGObject
  • Python 3 (currently working on Python 3.7)
  • pycryptodomex
  • libpwquality

To build revelation first cd to a suitable location and run:

git clone https://github.com/mikelolasagasti/revelation.git

Build with Meson

Navigate to the directory where revelation source has been downloaded and type these commands:

$ cd revelation
$ meson setup --prefix=$HOME/.local _build
$ meson install -C _build

Meson will build revelation in the _build directory, and install it in .local in your home directory, which is the best option for local installs in Debian or Ubuntu systems.

You can choose whatever prefix you like, like --prefix=$HOME/install, but because the installation directory may be non-standard, to run revelation you will have to define some environment variables. In this example:

$ export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$HOME/install/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS
$ export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/install/lib/python3.8/site-packages

and then run revelation:

$ $HOME/.local/bin/revelation
