    tutorial    Basic overview of GPG/BPG and how public/private key crypto works.

Installation

Besides requiring gpg, we also require a graphical pinentry program to use keys. Here are basic install instructions for macOS:

brew install gnupg
brew install pinentry-mac
echo "pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-mac" >> ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
killall gpg-agent

You can either grab a pre-built binary off of the tags page, or you can build from source:

Build From Source

Given that we're coding this in Rust, install it from here. Then, follow these steps (UNIX-like systems):

cd bpg
cargo build --release # target/release/bpg is the binary's location
