<p>You need to download and import their PGP key. There is a link to it on litecoin.org's download page. You can also get it directly from a <a href="https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&amp;search=0xFE3348877809386C" rel="nofollow noreferrer">keyserver</a></p>

I have already downloaded the key, as I was able to run `--verify` on the .asc file. When trying the `--import` option, I get `$ gpg --import litecoin-0.14.2-osx.dmg.asc; gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.; gpg: Total number processed: 0`

<p>Usually I am able to verify signatures using the <code>verify</code> option in GPG, but this doesn't work when attempting to verify the Litecoin Core client DMG.</p>

<p>For example:</p>

<pre><code>$ gpg --verify litecoin-0.14.2-osx.dmg.asc litecoin-0.14.2-osx.dmg
gpg: Signature made Mon Jul 31 14:44:45 2017 PDT
gpg:                using RSA key FE3348877809386C
gpg: Can't check signature: No public key
</code></pre>

<p>I am using the GPG 2.2.3 install from Homebrew.</p>

# How do I verify the GPG sig for Litecoin Core?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-12-13)

Usually I am able to verify signatures using the `verify` option in GPG, but this doesn't work when attempting to verify the Litecoin Core client DMG.

For example:

```
$ gpg --verify litecoin-0.14.2-osx.dmg.asc litecoin-0.14.2-osx.dmg
gpg: Signature made Mon Jul 31 14:44:45 2017 PDT
gpg:                using RSA key FE3348877809386C
gpg: Can't check signature: No public key

```

I am using the GPG 2.2.3 install from Homebrew.

Here is what I did to get this to work

Copy the public key (found [here](https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xFE3348877809386C)) to a file. I called it `litecoin.public.key`.

Then run the following commands:

```
gpg --import litecoin.public.key
gpg --verify litecoin-0.14.2-osx.dmg.asc litecoin-0.14.2-osx.dmg

```

This is the output that I got

You need to download and import their PGP key. There is a link to it on litecoin.org's download page. You can also get it directly from a [keyserver](https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xFE3348877809386C)
