To check if the installation downloaded correctly:

ls | grep -w "universal.sh"

~/.local/bin/at_activate -a @<REPLACE>_client

Enter the One Time Password (OTP) & Check your SPAM/PROMOTIONS folders

at_activate will pause and wait for the input of a one time pin (OTP) sent to your email or phone number. Once activated, the master keys will save at ~/.atsign/keys.
