Footnotes[edit]

  1. ↑ The following is unreliable due to gpg connectivity bugs [archive]. 
    sudo apt-key --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/whonix.gpg adv --keyserver hkp://ipv4.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-keys 916B8D99C38EAF5E8ADC7A2A8D66066A2EEACCDA

  2. ↑ gpg is required by apt-key. gpg-agent is required due to the following error message. 
    sudo apt-key --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/whonix.gpg add ~/patrick.asc

    gpg: failed to start agent '/usr/bin/gpg-agent': No such file or directory
gpg: can't connect to the agent: No such file or directory
  3. ↑ See Secure Downloads to understand why curl and the parameters --tlsv1.2 --proto =https are used instead of wget.
