SSH Software
On Linux or Mac, ssh command-line utilities are generally installed by default.
Generate Key Pair
Open a terminal and type the following command:
ssh-keygen
You will be prompted where to save your private key. Just hitting enter will save it to the default location. You will also be prompted to enter a password. This password will be required to use your private key in the future.
| Default Private Key Location | ~/.ssh/id_rsa |
| Default Public Key Location | ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub |
Assuming default location, output your public key with the following command:
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
