Install GnuPG (the `gpg` command). It is required to verify the authenticity and integrity of a downloaded Mountpoint for Amazon S3 package. GnuPG is installed by default on Amazon Linux Amazon Machine Images (AMIs). After you installGnuPG, proceed to step 2. 1. Download the Mountpoint public key by running the following command: ``` wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/mountpoint-s3-release/public_keys/KEYS ``` 1. Import the Mountpoint public key into your keyring by running the following command: ``` gpg --import KEYS ``` 1. Verify the fingerprint of the Mountpoint public key by running the following command: ``` gpg --fingerprint mountpoint-s3@amazon.com ``` Confirm that the displayed fingerprint string matches one of the following: ``` 8AEF E705 EBE3 29C0 948C 75A6 6F1C 3B3A EF4B 030B 673F E406 1506 BB46 9A0E F857 BE39 7A52 B086 DA5A (older key) ``` If the fingerprint string doesn't match, do not finish installing Mountpoint, and contact [AWS Support](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/). 1. Download the package signature file. Replace `signature-link` with the appropriate signature link from the preceding sections. ``` wget signature-link ``` 1. Verify the signature of the downloaded package by running the following command. Replace `signature-filename` with the file name from the previous step. ``` gpg --verify signature-filename ``` For example, on RPM-based distributions, including Amazon Linux, enter the following command: ``` gpg --verify mount-s3.rpm.asc ``` 1. The output should include the phrase `Good signature`. If the output includes the phrase `BAD signature`, redownload the Mountpoint package file and repeat these steps. If the issue persists, do not finish installing Mountpoint, and contact [AWS Support](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/). The output may include a warning about a trusted signature. This does not indicate a problem. It only means that you have not independently verified the Mountpoint public key.
