I know I see the little button that does it automatically but I don’t want to use that I want to know how to do it correctly. -Problem is, every guide says to use the .asc file. I don’t have that, tails gave me a .IMG file, a .SIG file, and then I downloaded a tails-signing.key file. How do I manually verify this file with just those files?
