Below is single line command. Make sure you run as single line.
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Step 2: Install PuTTY (which includes puttygen)
Once Homebrew is installed, you can install PuTTY, which includes the puttygen tool:
brew install putty
Step 3: Verify the installation
After the installation is complete, verify that puttygen is installed by running the following command:
puttygen --help
This should display usage information for puttygen, confirming that it has been installed successfully.
Step 4: Use puttygen to convert PPK to PEM
You can now use puttygen for conversions, such as converting a .ppk file to a .pem file. For example:
puttygen your-key.ppk -O private-openssh -o your-key.pem
Now you're ready to use puttygen on your macOS system.
