Installation

This page describes installation in simple steps.

• Download SSHKeychain.dmg and mount it.
• Copy SSHKeychain (SSHKeychain.app) to your Applications folder.
• Run SSHKeychain. This should open a dock item and a statusbar item.
• Click either the Statusbar Item, the Dock Item, or Main Menu and open the Preferences.
• Open the Environment tab.
• Enable "Manage global environment variables". This will make SSHKeychain available for other applications.
• Open the keys tab and see if any of your keys are missing (~/.ssh/id_dsa and ~/.ssh/identity are default).
• Re-login to make the global variables work.
• Start up SSHKeychain, and you're set.

It's a good idea to add SSHKeychain to your Login Items in the System Preferences.
