### Creating a SSH key for use with Neosync

To generate an SSH key, open up your terminal of choice and run the following:
You may generate a SSH key in any way that is comfortable to you. Neosync does not require any specific algorithm, but a few different options are detailed below.

```sh
$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]
#### ED25519

```console
$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519
```

#### RSA

```console
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
```

It's up to you if you'd like to attach a password to this key.

If that is desirable, run the command with `-C "[email protected]` and the system should prompt a password. To be sure, `-N ""` may also be provided.

Afterwards, you'll have two new files in your `~/.ssh` folder, the public and private key.
We'll need both of these at various points throughout the rest of this guide.
