  1. On your computer, generate an RSA key pair. For instance, if you use the openssl tool on MacOs or Linux, please run the following command to generate a private key: 
    
openssl genrsa -aes256 -out pure1-test-private.pem 2048
  2. Generate the public key that corresponds to your private key with the following command: 
    
openssl rsa -in pure1-test-private.pem -outform PEM -pubout -out pure1-test-public.pem
  3. Retrieve the text version of your public key with the following command: 
    
cat pure1-test-public.pem
