How to Install crypto

Step 1: Install GPG

crypto requires the Gnu Privacy Guard executable (gpg).

Mac OSX GPG Install

Mac OSX users can install gpg with Homebrew

$ brew install gpg

with the Mac GPG Tools Suite installer, or by compiling and installing from the source.

You can install either the 'classic' (v1.x) or 'modern' (v2.x) versions of gpg. If your install uses the executable gpg2 rather than gpg, please create the following alias:

alias gpg="gpg2"

Confirm your install by typing:

$ gpg --version

The installed gpg version should be displayed.
