# Decrypt PGP File with Found Private Key

***

Import the found PGP private key (`priv.key`) into your GPG keyring.

```bash
gpg --import priv.key
```

GnuPG needs a passphrase to access the key.

Then, decrypt the encrypted file (`CustomerDetails.xlsx.gpg`) using the key now available in your keyring, specifying the desired output file name.

```bash
gpg --decrypt --output CustomerDetails.xlsx CustomerDetails.xlsx.gpg
```
