ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ./authkey
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ./hostkey
```
4) Replace keys in the code
```
cat authkey.pub      Find "authPublicKeys" variable in the code and replace the example key that's already there. 
cat hostkey          Find "hostKeyBytes" variable in the code and replace the example key that's already there
```

```
go install github.com/leechristensen/GolangSSHServer
