Description

the instructions to import a PGP file (a file that I generated) my Windows client are as follows:
keybase_pgp_instructions_17072017_162913

this is the result from the shell:
C:\Users\moi\AppData\Local\Keybase> cat ..\_PGP_public_key_ | keybase pgp import 'cat' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
