How To Import A Existing account file when i install the Ethereum Wallet with GNU/Linux

[ZerooCool]

Hello everybody !
I see this way for a new installation : Install/use Debian 8 or Ubuntu 16.0.4 then execute :

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo sed 's/jessie/vivid/' -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ethereum-ethereum-*.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ethereum ethminer
geth account new

copy long character sequence within {}, that is your <YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS>

if you lose the passphrase, you lose your coins!

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-amd64 build-essential
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.35.run
sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.35.run
ethminer -G -F http://yolo.ethclassic.faith:9999/0x<YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS> --farm-recheck 200
echo done

It's okay ?

But ... How i can import my existing account file ?
I create a account with myetherwallet inline. I have a " secret " file.
I don't now, how i can use it with the terminal.

I have install the file with windows, it's ok with Windows, but, i want test that with GNU/Linux.

Thank you for your help.

I haven't tried it on linux. But what happens when you copy the keystore file into the keystore folder. It's probably at ~/.ethereum/keystore/ according to this: https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Backup-&-restore

Ok, i look that. Thank you.

I read with a other answer : If you simply copy your account's key file (the one containing the {...} stuff) into your keystore folder without your data directory, Geth should automatically pick it up and add it to your list of accounts.
