loading ssh key?

[jamarcus-deloitte]

minnows up -s 4 -c .ssh/digitalocean.pub -a andtheapikeystring

couple of questions, this key has a password on it, and its loaded using ssh-add prior to running. I have tried the pub key as a string and as a path to the file either way I get an exception. Anything i'm doing wrong?

Attempting to call up 4 minnows.
