Hi,

If you install a more recent SSH version via (e.g.) brew one might get the:

$ ssh-add -K
ssh-add: illegal option -- K

Pass the full path to ssh-add (/usr/bin/ssh-add) to work around this problem.

Hahaha that works, what on earth!

jirsbek commented

@Dynom Thank you for noticing that, readme has been updated.

Didn't work with specifying full path either

/usr/bin/ssh-add -K /home/path/to/id_rsa
ssh-add: illegal option -- K
usage: ssh-add [options] [file ...]
Options:
  -l          List fingerprints of all identities.
  -L          List public key parameters of all identities.
  -d          Delete identity.
  -D          Delete all identities.
  -x          Lock agent.
  -X          Unlock agent.
  -t life     Set lifetime (in seconds) when adding identities.
  -c          Require confirmation to sign using identities
  -s pkcs11   Add keys from PKCS#11 provider.
  -e pkcs11   Remove keys provided by PKCS#11 provider.
  -n          Add keys in NSS key.
  -T          Name NSS key explicitly.

Note: I am on CentOS 6.X

Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce the problem on the CentOS. This repository is related to macOS only.

@goforgold Try with lowercase -k. That worked for me.

thanks @sojungko, worked with lowecase. Silly me!

lowercase -k doesn't complain, but it also doesn't persist across sessions. (I'm running in this issue on a digital ocean droplet running ubuntu 16.04)
