Install GnuPG by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib && make && make install && chmod 4755 /usr/bin/gpg |
--libexecdir=/usr/lib: This command creates a gnupg directory in /usr/sbin instead of /usr/libexec.
The GnuPG package contains gpg, gpgsplit and gpgv
gpg is the backend (command-line interface) for this OpenPGP implementation.
gpgsplit separates key rings.
gpgv is a verify only version of gpg.
