3/2/2023 0 Comments Keybase big sur![]() ![]() I was working on another page today () and noticed that the machine (a MacBook Air M1) appeared to have three different versions of gpg installed, from a combination of “MacGPG2”, “GPGTools”, and Homebrew. I don’t like the whole “limited number of activations” thing, and I hate any kind of system which contstantly “phones home” like like this, so … while I do believe in supporting the authors of the software I use, I figure the donation I sent them a few back covers my use of the command line tools and the Preferences widget, and I use Thunderbird with Enigmail instead of their Mail.app plugin. It’s not horribly expensive, and it’s not a “subscription” (it’s a one-time purchase for each “major version” of the GPG Suite package), however they only allow five “activations”, and the “Paddle” framework wants to connect to on a regular basis. Note that both methods end up installing the same software, I just find it easier to use the command line, so I use Homebrew on my macOS machines.Īlso note that the Mail.app plugin is not free. Note: you can also use brew install -cask gpg-suite-no-mail if you don’t need the Mail.app plugin. Not only will this give you the gpg command line tools, but it also includes a System Preferences widget to control some aspects of how gpg and gpg-agent work, along with a Mail.app plugin to support signing and encrypting email.īrew install -cask gpg-suite will install the same package, using Homebrew. Visit and install the current version of GPG Suite. There are two ways to install the gnupg tools: See “macOS - Homebrew” below for more information.įor macOS, the openssh client is installed as a basic part of the OS, however gnupg is not. Note: I don’t use GPGTools anymore, but I’m leaving this info here. For gnupg you should search for packages with names like gnupg, gpg2, or maybe just gpg. I don’t have the exact commands for every other distro out there. Unfortulately Keybase doesn’t render Markdown to HTML like my web server does, but Markdown is pretty easy to read on its own. If you’re curious, this document is my checklist for setting up Xubuntu.
