# I have `gnupg` and `pinentry` installed
[colemickens@aarch64:~]$ gpg --quick-generate-key testkeyaarch64About to create a key for:
"testkeyaarch64"
Continue? (Y/n) y
We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.
