+  * Download the portable version zip file from official link https://keepass.info/download.html
+  * Close the KeePass2 application
+  * Make a copy of the /usr/lib/keepass2 folder as backup
+  * Unzip the portable version and copy the file KeePass.exe to /usr/lib/keepass2 as root
 ===== Plugins under Linux =====
 Keepass compiles plugins and requires the complete mono environment in order to do this.\\

-apt-get install mono-complete ca-certificates
+apt-get install mono-complete
 </code>
 Once plugins are copied into the ''/usr/lib/keepass2'' directory, ensure to ''chmod 666'' the plugin file.

+Then restart keepass
+To use:
+  * Create a new group in your database and name it "AutoOpen" (without the quotes).
+  * Each non-expired entry in this group corresponds to a database that should be opened automatically when the current database is opened. The fields of each entry specify the following:
+    * Title: Ignored by the plugin; can be used for comments.
+    * User name: Must contain the path to the key file, if one should be used. The path can be either absolute or relative to the directory containing KeePass.exe.
+    * Password: The master password for the database to open. If no password is required, leave this field empty.
+    * URL: Path to the database file to open. The path can be either absolute or relative to the directory containing KeePass.exe.
+  * Server credentials. When opening a database from a URL, the credentials for accessing the file on the server can be specified using the custom entry strings "IocUserName" and "IocPassword". These strings must not contain new-line characters.
+  * Custom entry string "Visible" set to "False" will hide autoopen entries from Menu -> open
+  * Custom entry string "Focus" set to "Restore" will switch the active tab to the main database again.
