To install and set up Password Manager, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/joseabrantesjr/flask.password.manager

2. Create a Virtual Environment

3. Install Dependencies

5. Run the Application

python run.py

Open your browser and go to http://localhost:5000/.
