Assuming you installed all the necessary basic tools from exercise 01

1. Change to your home directory by typing:

cd

2. Check if the hidden folder .ssh exist by typing:

ls -a

Note: the -a options shows hidden files that start with a dot 3. If it does not exist create the folder by running:

mkdir .ssh

4. Change into the folder

cd .ssh

5. Create the ssh-key by issuing the command:

ssh-keygen -t rsa 

It will ask you:

• to specify the filename: (if you don't have any other keys leave it as it is) and press enter
• enter a passphrase: leave it empty and press enter twice

6. Print the public key: by typing:

cat id_rsa.pub

Note:

• if you chose another name replace id_rsa
• the pub extension is the public key

7. Copy the whole public key out put starting with ssh-rsa and including everything until the end
