  2. Enabling Browser Extension Support

Installing Passy

Some popular Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Manjaro, KDE Neon) come with Snap pre-installed. If you do not have Snap installed on your system you can see Passy latest release for Linux AppImage and Bundle downloads, use our Flathub package or check https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snapd for Snap installation guide.

With the Ubuntu/Debian store app installed, you can use it to install Passy.

If you are interested in using Passy browser extension, don't forget to check the Enabling Browser Extension Support section after the installation is complete.

    Open the Ubuntu/Debian store app
  2. Find Passy in Ubuntu/Debian store app and click on the search result:

  4. When the installation completes, you should be able to find Passy in your application drawer.
  5. Enable browser extension support (Optional).

Command-line
