# Quick GPG guide
Note: If gpg2 gives you error about invalid/unknown/etc. command, use gpg instead.
## What do you need:?
### Linux (Debian based distributions)
You need at least package gnupg, but I recommend installing packages
icedove enigmail pinentry pinentry-curses pinentry-gtk2 pinentry-qt4 signing-party and gnupg2.
> # aptitude install gnupg gnupg2 icedove enigmail pinentry-curses pinentry-gtk2 pinentry-qt4 signing-party gnupg2
### Mac OS X
You need at least GPG-tools, but I also recommend you to install Thunderbird and Enigmail.
### Windows
You need at least GPG4Win, but I recommend installing Thunderbird and Enigmail too.
### Step 1
This depends are you generating a new key or importing old key.
#### Step 1: Generating a new key
Open terminal (or cmd.exe if you are using Windows) and run
> gpg2 --gen-key
Notes:
1. When you are asked for key size, enter the maximum size.
2. When you are asked for email address, leave it empty. We will add it later.
