Which Linux distro are you using? The simplest way would be to install
it from the repositories. For example on Debian or a Debian-based
distro: "apt install gpg". There is a great chance that it is already
installed on your system.

If you want a more recent version of GnuPG you could build it on your
own, but that is not necessary, if you don't need the latest features ;-)


Greetings,

Christoph

Can't you simply use the package manager of your distribution?

Could you please let me know which gnupg software to download for
Linux machine to make use of gpg encryption & decryption.

Also, may I know if any packages required to install on Linux prior
to gnupg installation.

If possible could you please provide me the steps to install gnupg on
Linux machine.

Here is the Gnupg site for Gnupg downloads.

The Linux links are listed below the ones for Windows and Mac.

https://gnupg.org/download/index.html

Once gnupg 2.2.33 is installed on your Linux system, you can download
Kleopatra as an easy gui front end.

If you do not especially need the Linux version you are using, I
would highly recommend the Ubuntu 20.x LTS (long term support). It
already has Gnupg installed by default when you download the .iso

All the Best
