title: GnuPG
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
__Gnu Privacy Guard (GnuPG)__ is a free software implementation of the [OpenPGP Standard](https://www.openpgp.org/about/standard/). Most people use GnuPG or GPG to encrypt and sign files and messages while some also use it for Secure Shell (SSH) authentication and signing their Git commits and tags.
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
GnuPG is part of Debian. To install on Debian or its derivatives:
|
||||
```text
|
||||
sudo apt install gnupg
|
||||
```
|
||||
For non-Debian Linux distributions, consult the appropriate guide for the distro of your choice.
|
||||
|
||||
### macOS
|
||||
To install GnuPG on a Mac, you can use [Homebrew](https://brew.sh):
|
||||
```text
|
||||
brew install gnupg
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows
|
||||
To install GnuPG on Windows, you can download the [Gpg4win Installer](https://gpg4win.org/download.html).
|
||||
|
||||
## Generating keys
|
||||
Before you can start using GPG, you need to first generate a key pair. To do so, key in the command in your terminal or command prompt:
|
||||
```text
|
||||
gpg --gen-key
|
||||
```
|
||||
Follow the prompts by entering your name, email, and passphrase and you are done. Congratulations!
