  <p>Im on the step of adding public key into <code>authorized_keys</code> file, which should be located in <code>.ssh</code> directory. But that .ssh directory does not exist. <code>ls -a</code> outputs this</p>
  
  <pre><code>.    boot         etc         lib         mnt   root     srv  usr
  ..   dead.letter  home        lost+found  opt   sbin     sys  var
  bin  dev          initrd.img  media       proc  selinux  tmp  vmlinuz
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>this does not show any results</p>
  
  <pre><code>find / -name 'authorized_keys'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So, should I create it, or I should install something and it will appear.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
