# How to get your compost.party username 

These are the steps I took to get my username set up on compost.party.

--

Open the application Terminal.

If you don't have a SSH key, generate a SSH key, to do so run:

	$ ssh-keygen

Select default settings.

Copy public key to a file:

	$ cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub > ssh_pubkey.txt

The file containing your SSH public key could be name something else, but it ends with <code>.pub</code>. 

Send the the file ssh_pubkey.txt public key to yeah@compost.party.

Wait for a confirmation from yeah@compost.party that your username has been created.

Open your Terminal.

Connect to the server:

	$ ssh -p23 username@compost.party

The Terminal should ask you whether it is the right fingerprint.

Copy the fingerprint.

Ask yeah@compost.party whether the fingerprint matches.

Once you have received the confirmation that the fingerprint matches, go to your Terminal.

Type <code>yes</code>.

You should be on the server.
