Step 1 Securely download the key.

Click = Copy Copied to clipboard! curl --tlsv1.3 --remote-name {{{url}}}

Step 2 Display the key's fingerprint.

Click = Copy Copied to clipboard! gpg --keyid-format long --import --import-options show-only --with-fingerprint {{{source_filename}}}

Step 3 Verify the fingerprint.

The most important check is confirming the key fingerprint exactly matches the output below.

Key fingerprint = {{{gpg_fingerprint_output}}}

Warning:

Do not continue if the fingerprint does not match -- this risks using infected or erroneous files! The whole point of verification is to confirm file integrity.

Step 4 Add the signing key.

Click = Copy Copied to clipboard! sudo cp {{{source_filename}}} {{{target_filename}}}

Step 5 Done.

The key has been added to the keyring.
