Ubuntu specific

The .deb file and the .zip files are already qt-deployed. If you are using other distro like Fedora, you can extract the contents of the .deb file or download the linux zip, extract it to /opt and run.

1. Download the deb file and install

   sudo dpkg -r pass-simple
   sudo dpkg -i ./pass-simple-1.x.x-Linux.deb    
   

   on ubuntu 24.04 sudo apt --fix-broken install and repeat.

2. Install dependencies if compile yourself (or not using the deb file)

   sudo apt-get -y  install pass gnupg2 libgpgme-dev libgpgmepp-dev libbz2-dev libjson-c-dev
   

3. Install ydotool autotype.
