#Prerequisites You’ll need to generate and download a public key from DevMate Dashboard before you can start the integration of DevMate Update. Follow the instructions below to get a public key: 1. Open your DevMate account and choose Settings > DevMateKit in the left-side pane. 2. Disclose the Updates Delivery section, choose “DevMate key pair” and then click Download Key for <ApplicationName>. 3. Open the downloaded file in any text editor and use its content as `PublickDSAKey`.
