Could not generate ssh public key for heroku in Windows 7
Heroku toolbelt includes git distribution which includes the required ssh-keygen.exe . I've just found it in C:\Program Files\git\bin . Locate your git folder and add it to your system path as described here: superuser.com/questions/284342/
I had the same problem and just solved it. I installed another CMD called Git Bash that you can download for free (http://git-scm.com/downloads) and then repeated the commands in that and it worked!
For Win7 64-bit users, the file %HerokuPath%s\bin\ssh-keygen.bat
looks like:
@SETLOCAL@SET HOME=%USERPROFILE%@"%HerokuPath%\..\Git\bin\ssh-keygen.exe" %*
But Heroku installs Git in Program Files (x86)
, so if you update the .bat
file to:
@SETLOCAL@SET HOME=%USERPROFILE%@"C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\ssh-keygen.exe" %*
Then you should be able to generate your ssh keys.
