Thank you for your help. I have something to ask. I just want to make sure I’m doing the right thing since I’m new to Apache. When downloading OpenPGP, I’m going to the site gnupg.org/download. I’m using a Mac. Under GnuPG Binary Releases, after clicking on GnuPG for OS X there are 2 files, DMG file and signature file. Is it just the signature file I download?
