Import is not recognized as a pass extension

[JordanPeltier]

Hi Alexandre,
After downloading and installing pass-import on my debian jessie machine, I got the following error when I wanted to import my KeePassX db.
pass import passwords_jordan.kdbx
Error: import is not in the password store.

Any ideas about the problem ? Cheers ;)

Hi Jordan ;)

In order to use extension with pass, you need:

• pass 1.7.0 or greater. Today this version has not been released yet. Therefore you need to install it by hand from zx2c4.com:

git clone https://git.zx2c4.com/password-store
cd password-store
sudo make install

• You need to enable the extensions in pass: PASSWORD_STORE_ENABLE_EXTENSIONS=true pass. You can create an alias in .bashrc: alias pass='PASSWORD_STORE_ENABLE_EXTENSIONS=true pass'

I added this doc in the README. See 08a6134

Thank you I'll try it at the end of week.

hello,

I am getting the same error even though I installed a higher version than needed with brew, and enabled the command for additional packages. Thanks in advance!

Proceed (y/n)? n

For this local install, you need to set:

export PASSWORD_STORE_ENABLE_EXTENSIONS=true
export PASSWORD_STORE_EXTENSIONS_DIR="$HOME/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/usr/lib/password-store/extensions/"

Hi, thanks for the great work! I just came here with the exact same issue - may be worth mentioning the PASSWORD_STORE_EXTENSIONS_DIR thing in the README.md too.

[roddhjav]

Good point. Done
