# Prerequisites

## Step 1
Sign up for an account at rubygems.org if you don't have one.

Enable multi factor authentication.


## Step 2
Ask someone who is an owner of the gem to add you as one.

They do this by using the `gem owner` command
([docs](https://guides.rubygems.org/command-reference/#gem-owner)).


## Step 3
Go to your rubygems.org profile and find the curl command to run to
download your API key.
