title: How to setup SSH keys on local computer terminal using Windows when my server is Ubuntu?
body: <p>So I am in the process of setting up my own server for the first time using Vultr and I'm following a guide from DigitalOcean.  The server is on Ubuntu but I am using Windows 10.  I've been doing everything through the console that's logged into my server but now I'm trying to generate SSH keys locally and I'm not quite sure how to do this.  I'm pretty new to this and I don't know if this is easily done through Windows 10.  The tutorial states..</p>
  
  <pre><code>Generate a Key Pair
  
  If you do not already have an SSH key pair, which consists
  of a public and private key, you need to generate one.
  If you already have a key that you want to use, 
  skip to the Copy the Public Key step.
  
  To generate a new key pair, enter the following command at the
  terminal of your local machine (ie. your computer):
  
  local$ ssh-keygen
  
  Assuming your local user is called "localuser", 
  you will see output that looks like the following:
  
  ssh-keygen output
  Generating public/private rsa key pair.
  Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/localuser/.ssh/id_rsa):"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can do all this on the terminal I use that's logged in to my server but I can't figure out how to do this locally on my computer.  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.</p>
