#### Setting up the Masternode VPS
#### Verifying the binaries
It's always advised to use the provided signature *asc* files to verify the authenticity of the downloaded package and confirm it has been signed by the author (Keybase user: [random_zebra](https://keybase.io/random_zebra/)).

__To verify the signature (with keybase app)__:
```
keybase pgp verify -d <detached signature file> -i <downloaded archive> -S random_zebra
```
e.g.
```
keybase pgp verify -d SPMT-v0.3.2a-x86_64-gnu_linux.tar.gz.asc -i SPMT-v0.3.2a-x86_64-gnu_linux.tar.gz -S random_zebra
```

__To verify it (without keybase app)__:
- Download signing key

```
curl https://keybase.io/random_zebra/pgp_keys.asc?fingerprint=ed501a1c26ce0733c33d6b00e7d8bf3b03d710a1 > random_zebra-PUBKEY.asc
```
- Import key

```
gpg --import random_zebra-PUBKEY.asc
```
- Verify the downloaded archive with its detached signature file:

```
gpg --verify <detached signature file> <downloaded archive>
```

e.g.
```
gpg --verify SPMT-v0.3.2a-x86_64-gnu_linux.tar.gz.asc SPMT-v0.3.2a-x86_64-gnu_linux.tar.gz
```
