Hi David,

Prior to you being able to get your gpg fingerprint you first need to
create a public/private key-pair.

This can be done using the following app:-
Applications>Accessories>Passwords and Encryption Keys, or just via
the cli method of ssh-keygen.

Once your key has been created you will see it in the output of the
gpg --fingerprint command.

To be specific you can run it as $ gpg --fingerprint <Key owner name>.
| grep fingerprint

Like so:-

gavin at xl-otm:~$ gpg --fingerprint Gavin McDougall | grep fingerprint
      Key fingerprint = 4E3A 1DFD 0EB7 4D15 8353  76A2 DF2B D8CA 99FE 41B4

HTH!

Cheers,
Gavin
