How do I get hold of the missing GnuPG?

When I tried to install GPGMail a message popped up announcing that I had neither GnuPG or GnuPG installed on my mac.

Immediately, I realized that GPGMail is some kind of Linux projects, since there always seems to be something missing when you try to install something in the Linux environment.

Another typical peculiarity is that it's allways foreseen that you should know something that you don't know. Therefore, it also appears logical that you don't get any relevant information when you write GnuPG in this site's search box.

If you search Google you will come to http://www.gnupg.org But that site has of course no information on how to get the missing piece (GnuPG) in my install process.

Is it top secret - or is there someone who can take pity on an ignorant soul like me?

Regards

    Hi Jan,

    from the error message it seems you're running OS X 10.6.
    Unfortunately the GPGMail 1.x version is not very user friendly, but the only version available for 10.6.

    But basically all you have to do is simply download the GPGTools installer linked from the homepage at http://www.gpgtools.org

    Let us know if that worked.
