The first thing you must do is download and install the GPG Suite. I will be demonstrating on macOS High Sierra. I’m going to show you how you can get this open source app installed and use it with the likes of Apple Mail. This particular software will install GPGMail (an open source plugin for Apple Mail), GPG Keychain (an open source application for macOS that allows you to manage OpenPGP keys), GPG Services (a plugin that brings GPG to nearly any Mac application), and MacGPG (the underlying engine for the GPG Suite). You can install the likes of OpenPGP from the standard repositories and easily use it from the command line or from within apps like Thunderbird.īut what if macOS is your platform of choice? What do you do? You have a few options, one of which is to install the GPG Suite of tools. If you use a Linux machine, working with various encryption tools is incredibly simple. You have business and personal information you need to transmit or share, and doing so without first encrypting said information is a risk. Unlike most Linux distributions (which make heavy use of GnuPG for ensuring untampered software within their package repositories), Mac OS X does not bring GnuPG with the operating system, so you have to install it on your own.In today’s world, security and privacy are key.
To some extend, you could say it's for OpenPGP what OpenSSL is for X.509 and TLS. GnuPG (with binary name gpg) is an application used for public key encryption using the OpenPGP protocol, but also verification of signatures (cryptographic signatures, that also can validate the publisher if used correctly). To reinstall 2.2.23, run `brew reinstall gnupg` Warning: gnupg 2.2.23 is already installed and up-to-date In mac, you can try install it with homebrew $ brew install gpg2Įven after installing gpg, i was getting gpg2 command not found $ brew install gnupg gnupg2 As the instruction said "might need gpg2"
