This results in a broken sentence:

'If you don't yet have it, you will need the GPG used for signing ...
and running the command...'

I think this text needs further rewording and reordering, to say that
you need (1) gnupg installed (2) the relevant public key (not 'the GPG')
(3) the signature file.
