### 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. | ||
