**d.** Use `scp` to download SHASUMS256.txt to a temporary directory on your computer.

```
scp [email protected]:~/nodejs/release/vx.y.z/SHASUMS256.txt /path/to/local/SHASUM256.txt
```

**e.** Sign the SHASUMS256.txt file using a command similar to: `gpg --default-key YOURKEY --clearsign /path/to/SHASUMS256.txt`. You will be prompted by GPG for your password. The signed file will be named SHASUMS256.txt.asc.

This does not require your password and is mainly a convenience for users, although not the recommended way to get a copy of your key.

**g.** Upload the SHASUMS256.txt files back to the server into the release directory.

scp /path/to/SHASUMS256.txt* [email protected]:~/nodejs/release/vx.y.z
