    How are you trying to install it? Sounds like you need to import a public GPG key.

    I have it installed through the software menu,but whenever i try to run it its says you need a gpg

    it says this
    PlayOnLinux cannot find gpg (from GnuPG)

    You need to install it to continue


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,485 ✭✭✭✭Khannie


    You should install GPG. In a terminal run:

    sudo yum install gnupg2

    (or similar)

    Find a program in the menu named terminal and open that. A black or white screen will open. Thats the terminal or shell.

    To run gpg just type gpg and press enter. I want to check if gpg is in your PATH and the command "which gpg" returns that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 258 ✭✭SuperChar


    when i try to run gpg it says that it isnt a command


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 339 ✭✭duffman85


    SuperChar - can you give us a bit more info

    open a terminal window and type 'which gpg' and hit enter:
    You should get back something like this if it is installed or else it will say 'no gpg found in ....'
    /usr/bin/gpg
    
    gpg belongs to the gnupg2 package
    Run this command to see if the package is installed:
    $ rpm -qa gnupg2
    
    it should return something like gnupg2-2.0.14-4.el6.i686 or else nothing.

    You can install gnupg2 from the Add/Remove Software menu if you do not have it installed.

    From the terminal run the following command and hit enter:
    rpm -qa playonlinux
    
    this checks to see if the playonlinux package is installed.
    Copy the output of this command and paste it into your post.

    When I type in "which gpg" it says
    /usr/bin/which: no gpg in (/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:
    /usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/jan/.local/bin:/home/jan/bin)
    

    When I type "rpm -qa gnupg2" it says
    gnupg2-2.0.22-1.fc19.x86_64
    

    Ande when I type "rpm -qa playonlinux" it says
    playonlinux-4.2.1-fedora0.noarch
    

    Thanks for the Help

    I think I've figured this out. Gpg is called gpg2 when you install gnupg2. gpg is only provided by the Gnupg1.

    Poster, in the terminal run:

    sudo yum install gnupg

    This will install gnupg which comes packaged with gpg.
