Installing LastPass Pocket on Zorin OS

Hi All,
I use LastPass and was hoping to be able to install the LastPass Pocket client on my Zorin Netbook. I attempted to follow the directions for it on the LastPass website, but was getting an error of a text document being created with a bunch of symbols at the title.

Here is the download page and instructions. You have to scroll all the way to the bottom.

The instructions are:

1. Right-click the download button and choose 'Save Link As'
2. Extract the tar.bz2 file
3. Run 'sudo apt-get install ca-certificates libssl0.9.8' to update necessary packages

I did all that and nothing. Anyone have any ideas? I'm coming to the Zorin forum first in hopes someone using Zorin has attempted.

I'm using Zorin OS 12.2 32-bit Lite Ultimate.

Is there no .deb package available? You could extract the tarball, then recompress as a .tar.gz. Next install 'alien' via Terminal (Ctrl+ Alt+ T):

Code:

sudo apt-get install alien

Then navigate in Terminal to where the tar.gz file is located and enter:

Code:

sudo alien 'name of tar.gz file'

Now if not already installed, get gdebi package installer:

Code:

sudo apt-get install gdebi

Open the newly created .deb file with Gdebi and see if that works.

I use Zorin 12.2 Lite Ultimate, and use Firefox browser. I found LastPass was available in Firefox Add-ons, and had no problem installing it - use it too.

Thanks! I will attempt this. I know it's been a while since the response. I haven't used that computer since the request as it a little hobby/toy computer that I'm playing around with and not my daily driver. I'll let you know how it goes.

You're correct. I've done that as well. My goal is Pocket is offline local storage on my device.

Thanks!

are you able to post the output you got from following the directions?

The instructions I ended up following was a little different then what is displayed on their site.

Code:

LastPass software components installed!

Note: some browsers have disabled pre-loaded extensions.
Please visit the browser window to complete LastPass installation.


After that it opened up a tab in chrome and said I had to click aa button to install the chrome addon. but as far as I can tell it worked fine. I don't actually have a lastpass account so that was the extent of my testing.
