It turns out that BitWarden requires execution of a program in /tmp. They said to make sure /tmp wasn't mounted noexec! So I created a ~/.cache/bwtmp directory and passed TMPDIR= to bitwarden, but then it threw another error. I'd better take this up with BitWarden.

If you're still interested in debugging this, did the error message stay the same? At least the path "/tmp/.org.chromium.Chromium.QkN0cP" should have change to indicate the new TMPDIR.

I had assumed that you thought Java was needed for the Bitwarden app. There's no indication on the site that it is (though then again it also doesn't say that it is an Electron app), so I thought the confusion came from "JavaScript" in the error message. Good to hear that the bitwarden-cli app works for you. -- Wolf

Sadly the app tries to execute a process directly from within the temporary directory and fails. Try something like this to confirm: mkdir $HOME/.cache/bitwarden-tmp TMPDIR=$HOME/.cache/bitwarden-tmp ./Bitwarden*/opt/Bitwarden/bitwarden To see whether you've mounted /tmp with noexec: mount | grep /tmp Should give something like this: tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) Note that having /tmp mounted with noexec is usually a good idea.

I'm currently installing > openjre and openjdk; icedtea-bin is also installed. The JRE is the Runtime Environment. It includes all things necessary to run a compiled Java program (so it does indeed include the JVM). The JDK is the Development Kit - it includes the JRE, but also ships with the javac compiler and a few other tools. So, if you intend to just run an already compiled Java program (usually in the form of a .jar), you just need the JRE. If you need to compile Java programs, you should instead install the JDK (and can remove the JRE fully). Regardless of that, JavaScript is not Java [1]. There's no need for the JRE if you want to run JavaScript code. The Bitwarden desktop app does not need a JRE or JDK. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript#Java -- Wolf

I don't see the Bitwarden desktop or command line app in the tree - I guess you downloaded one from their site? I used to run the desktop app myself, and am pretty sure it does not require a Java runtime.
