+# GPG Configuration on Windows for Secure Mail
+**Beginning** | *step 1 of 5* | [[Next|gpg2]]
+
+## Install GPG
+
+ 1. Download GNU Privacy Guard
+ * Do "Right-click, Save As..." this file: [[gnupg.exe|ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32cli-1.4.11.exe]]
+ * *tip:* If you want to read more about GPG see the [[GPG homepage|http://www.gnupg.org/]]
+ 1. Open (Run) that file to install GPG
+ 1. Download this GPG helper file (This makes it easier to run GPG)
+ * Do "Right-click, Save As..." this file: gpg.bat
+ * Save it to (or move it to) your HOME directory. If your username
+ is **foo** then your HOME directory is **C:\Users\foo**
+ 1. You can now open a command window
+ * *Start | All Programs | Accessories | Command Prompt*
+ * list the contents of your HOME directory with **dir** (see screenshot below)
+ * You can make sure that gpg is installed (and the helper batch file works) by typing **gpg --version**
+ 1. Create a new GPG configuration directory
+ * This directory should be **C:\Users\foo\AppData\Roaming\gnupg**
+ * You can create it using *Start | All Programs | Accessories | Windows Explorer*
+ * Alternatively you can do this in the command window:
+ * C:\Users\foo> mkdir AppData
+ * C:\Users\foo> cd AppData
+ * C:\Users\foo\AppData> mkdir Roaming
+ * C:\Users\foo\AppData> cd Roaming
+ * C:\Users\foo\AppData\Roaming> mkdir gnupg
+ 1. Download this GPG configuration file (insures a strong key will be created)
+ * Do "Right-click, Save As..." this file: gpg.conf
+ * Save it to (or move it to) your GPG configuration directory you just created.
+ * It should be located at **C:\Users\foo\AppData\Roaming\gnupg\gpg.conf**
+ * If you want to know why this configuration is important please
+ see [[OpenPGP for Debian|http://www.debian-administration.org/users/dkg/weblog/48]]
+ 1. Go back to your HOME directory
+ * C:\Users\foo\AppData\Roaming> cd \Users\foo
+ * C:\Users\foo>
+ 1. Proceed to the [[Next|gpg2]] step
